“…Saissetia miranda (Cockerel & Parrot) (Hemiptera: Coccidae) and Phenacoccus solenopsis Tinsley (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae) were observed to damage greenhouse mahogany seedlings located in Brasilia, Distrito Federal, Brazil (CASTRO et al, 2018;CASTRO et al, 2019a). In addition to these scaled insects, the mite Eutetranychus banksi (McGregor) (Tetranychidae: Tetranychinae) has been reported in mahogany seedlings causing leaf tanning and premature leaf fall, also under greenhouse conditions (CASTRO et al, 2019b).…”

The Brazilian mahogany (Swietenia macrophylla King, Meliaceae) is an important forest species known worldwide for the high commercial value of its wood. Few arthropods have been observed associated with mahogany. However, this paper reports the occurrence of Hemiberlesia rapax (Comstock) (Hemiptera: Diaspididae) in S. macrophylla plants for the first time. The greedy scales did not cause apparent damage on the trunks and petioles, but the leaves turned yellowish, dried, and fall prematurely. This is the first reported occurrence of H. rapax in S. macrophylla in the world.

“…Pests and diseases can negatively affect the development of plants, hampering production and making the use of some seedlings impossible. Some arthropods have been observed to damage young mahogany plants, including scale insects and mites (Castro et al 2018;2019a;2019b;.…”

Aphis craccivora Koch, 1854 (Hemiptera: Aphididae) is a highly polyphagous aphid that is considered a pest of many crops with economic interest. The present study reports the occurrence and plant damages caused by the aphid A. craccivora on mahogany seedlings (Swietenia macrophylla King, Meliaceae) and scarlet jade vines (Mucuna bennettii F. Muell., Fabaceae) in the Distrito Federal, Brazil. Infestations of this aphid were found in twelve mahogany seedlings and two scarlet jade vines. The infestations caused deformations in the young leaflets of mahogany plants as well as leaves and inflorescences of scarlet jade vine. A. craccivora negatively affected the development of S. macrophylla and might become a limiting factor for seedlings production.
