“…The higher E. camaldulensis susceptibility to the red gum lerp psyllid corroborates the field and laboratory studies on this pest in Brazil (Wilcken et al, 2003; Pereira et al, 2013) and other parts of the world (Wilcken et al, 2003; Valente & Hodkinson, 2009). The oviposition preference of G. brimblecombei females for E. camaldulensis is linked to higher egg viability and nymph survival on this eucalypt species (Firmino-Winckler et al, 2009).…”

BackgroundThe red gum lerp psyllid, Glycaspis brimblecombei Moore (Hemiptera: Psyllidae), an eucalypt insect pest from Australia, was reported in Brazil in 2003. This study evaluated damage patterns of this pest on Eucalyptus camaldulensis Dehn (Myrtaceae) and its hybrids E. urophylla X E. camaldulensis (urocam) and E. urophylla X E. grandis (urograndis). In addition, parasitism rates of Psyllaephagus bliteus Riek (Hymenoptera: Encyrtidae) on G. brimblecombei collected on different eucalypt genotypes are reported.MethodsPlantation plots of three eucalypt genotypes were evaluated over one year. The eucalypt leaves were collected and examined for attack by G. brimblecombei. Nymph parasitism of G. brimblecombei by P. bliteus was recorded.ResultsDamage by G. brimblecombei was lower on the hybrid genotypes and on the adaxial surface of the eucalypt leaves. G. brimblecombei egg and nymph density were negatively correlated with monthly rainfall. Nymph parasitism of G. brimblecombei by P. bliteus was low (2.9%) independent of genotype and did not vary throughout the year.DiscussionOur data indicate the use of less susceptible eucalypt genotypes (e.g., hybrids) as an alternative to G. brimblecombei management. Because of the current low mortality rates for G. brimblecombei resulting from P. bliteus parasitism, biological control with this natural enemy is not recommended as a management strategy for G. brimblecombei.

“…In Italy the species was recorded for the first time in 2010 in Lazio, Campania and Basilicata (Laudonia & Garonna, 2010;Peris-Felipo et al, 2011). The following year it was reported in Sicily and Sardinia (Lo Verde et al, 2011;Pibiri, 2011); subsequently it was also recorded for Tuscany (Frasconi et al, 2013). In these regions, this pest then spread very rapidly (Garonna et al, 2011;Inghilesi et al, 2013;Mannu et al, 2018).…”

The invasive Australian pest Glycaspis brimblecombei Moore, 1964 is recorded for the first time in Molise, Liguria and Abruzzo, respectively, based on sampling by the authors in 2014 and observations (photographs) retrieved from the internet which were taken in 2018 and 2021. The records from Molise and Abruzzo are the first ones on the Adriatic side of Italy, east of the Apennines. Furthermore, new records for the country are also provided based on collected specimens and photographs from the web taken between 2011 and 2021.

“…Glycaspis brimblecombei Moore (Hemiptera: Psyllidae), also known as red gum lerp psyllid, belongs to a genus of jumping plant lice called Glycaspis Taylor (Mannu et al, ; Tsagkarakis, Kalaitzaki, & Balotis, ; Wylie & Speight, ). It is native of Australia and feeds on different Eucalyptus species (Frasconi, Rossi, Antonelli, & Loni, ; Mannu et al, ). Glycaspis brimblecombei was detected outside Australia for the first time in 1998 in California, USA (Dhahri, Ben Jamaa, Garcia, Boavida, & Branco, ), and has since been introduced in several continents, including Central and South America, Europe and Africa (Frasconi et al, ).…”

The study determined variations in incidence, severity and damage of Glycaspis brimblecombei among Eucalyptus species and ecological zones, and the interaction between Eucalyptus species and ecological zones. Additionally, the study determined variation in pest abundance between the upper, middle and lower parts of the tree crown. The study was conducted in six districts located in four ecological zones in Malawi. Eucalyptus stands established in 2014-2016 or coppices from trees cut in that period were sampled for G. brimblecombei infestation. A significant interaction was found between Eucalyptus species and ecological zones on G. brimblecombei infestation. Significant differences were observed between ecological zones in G. brimblecombei infestation with lowest incidence, severity and damage being found in the cooler ecological zone M. Eucalyptus camaldulensis and Eucalyptus tereticornis showed high susceptibility to G. brimblecombei compared to Eucalyptus grandis. There were no significant differences in abundance between the upper, middle and lower tree crown parts of each Eucalyptus species. Control efforts for this psyllid should focus on breeding and planting of resistant Eucalyptus varieties in specifically recommended sites. The uniform distribution of the pest on different tree crown parts implies that use of contact insecticides on a large scale would be tedious and expensive. RésuméL'étude a permis de déterminer les variations d'incidence, de gravité et les dommages causés par Glycaspis brimblecombei parmi les espèces d'Eucalyptus et les zones écologiques, ainsi que l'interaction entre les espèces d'Eucalyptus et les zones écologiques. En outre, l'étude a déterminé la variation de l'abondance des organismes nuisibles entre les parties supérieures, moyennes et inférieures de la cime de cette arbre. L'étude a été menée dans six quartiers situés dans quatre zones écologiques de Malawi. La population d'Eucalyptus a été établie en 2014-2016 dont taillis d'arbres coupés au cours de cette période ont été échantillonnés pour l'infestation par G. brimblecombei. Une interaction significative a été observée entre les espèces d'Eucalyptus et les zones écologiques lors de l'infestation de G. brimblecombei. Des différences significatives ont été observées entre les zones écologiques d'infestation par G. brimblecombei, l'incidence et la gravité et les dommages les plus faibles ayant été constatés dans la zone écologique plus froide, M.
