“…Hibisco é o hospedeiro preferido de M. hirsutus, como mostrado para algumas de suas cultivares sem tolerância a essa praga, como President, Double Red e Joanne (ARISTIZABAL et al, 2012). O transporte de plantas ornamentais, como o hibisco, pode ser considerado um dos principais meios para dispersão dessa praga (CHONG et al, 2015).…”

Maconellicoccus hirsutus Green, 1908 (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae) is an introduced pest that threatens fruit and ornamental plant production in Brazil. Reported in Brazil for the first time in 2010, in the state of Roraima, M. hirsutus, has spread rapidly to other regions of the country. The objective of this study was to investigate the biology of M. hirsutus on Hibiscus rosa-sinensis L. (Malvaceae) leaves in laboratory conditions with climatic parameters similar to those of the Brazilian North and Northeast (27 ± 1 °C, 60 ± 10% relative humidity and 12 hours light and 12 hours dark). Eighty M. hirsutus nymphs were individualized on rooted H. rosa-sinensis leaves and their survival, mortality, sex ratio, and egg numbers per female emerged were recorded. Maconellicoccus hirsutus can have up to nine generations per year, taking 6.5 days to double its population size. The female numbers of this pest are about three times higher than those for its male counterparts, with 98 eggs per female and 97% viability. The survival curve of the species is type I, that is, mortality rates are higher in adulthood. Maconellicoccus hirsutus, especially, a pest of fruit trees and ornamental plants, presents great potential for population growth in Brazilian tropical conditions. Key words: Climate. Life table.

Quarantine pest.Resumo: Maconellicoccus hirsutus Green, 1908 (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae) é uma praga introduzida que ameaça a produção de frutas e plantas ornamentais no Brasil. Registrada no Brasil pela primeira vez em 2010, no estado de Roraima, M. hirsutus se espalhou rapidamente para outras regiões do país. O objetivo deste estudo foi investigar a biologia de M. hirsutus em folhas de Hibiscus rosa-sinensis L. (Malvaceae), em condições de laboratório com parâmetros climáticos semelhantes aos das regiões Norte e Nordeste do Brasil (27 ± 1 °C, 60 ± 10 % de umidade relativa e 12 h de luz e 12 h de escuro). Oitenta ninfas de M. hirsutus foram individualizadas em folhas enraizadas de H. rosa-sinensis e sua sobrevivência, mortalidade, razão sexual e número de ovos por fêmea foram registrados. Maconellicoccus hirsutus pode ter até nove gerações por ano, levando 6,5 dias para dobrar o tamanho da população. O número de fêmeas é cerca de três vezes maior que o número de machos, com oviposição média de 98 ovos por fêmea e 97% de viabilidade. A curva de sobrevivência dessa espécie é do tipo I, ou seja, as taxas de mortalidade são maiores na fase adulta. Maconellicoccus hirsutus, praga de árvores frutíferas e plantas ornamentais, apresenta grande potencial de crescimento populacional nas condições tropicais brasileiras.Palavras-chave: Clima.

SummaryThe invasive pink hibiscus mealybug, Maconellicoccus hirsutus (Green) (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae), is reported for fi rst time in Greece. Individuals of the mealybug were found infesting Hibiscus rosa-sinensis (Linnaeus) (Malvaceae) in private and public gardens in the urban environment in Rhodes, Dodecanese islands, East Greece. This is the fi rst report of genus Maconellicoccus in Greece.
