“…1c-1e). These symptoms resemble those reported by Rodas et al (2014) on Eucaliptus grandis W. Hill ex Maiden, mainly on young trees, and by Giraldo and Benavides (2012) in other hosts such as guava, avocado and coffee. Moreover, tissue malformations are commonly observed, particularly on young stems, (Fig.…”

“…Monalonion velezangeli is also a pest of the economic importance of coffee (Coffea arabica L., Rubicaeae) in Colombia (Giraldo and Benavides, 2012 (Carvalho and Costa, 1988). Monalonion velezangeli is a polyphagous plant bug associated in Colombia with 14 plant species of Myrtaceae (5), Rubiaceae (2), Lythraceae (1), Clusiaceae (1), Rosaceae (1), Malvaceae (1), Melastomataceae (1), Anacardiaceae (1), and Theaceae (1), which include economically important fruit, ornamental, and forest plantations (Giraldo and Benavides, 2012;Londoño et al, 2014;Rodas et al, 2014) (Table 1).…”

Nuevas asociaciones de plantas para Monalonion velezangeli (Hemiptera: Miridae) en áreas verdes urbanas de Bogotá (Colombia)Valentina RESUMENMonalonion velezangeli Carvalho and Costa (Hemiptera: Miridae) es un mírido polífago reconocido como una de las especies plaga más importantes del café y el aguacate en regiones rurales de Colombia. M. velezangeli es reportado por primera vez en áreas verdes urbanas en la cordillera de los Andes en la ciudad de Bogotá (Colombia). Los especímenes fueron recolectados en ocho especies de árboles plantados en la ciudad, de los cuales cinco representan nuevas asociaciones de M. velezangeli. La especie Schinus molle L. (Anacardiaceae) es por primera vez reportada como nueva planta hospedera afectada por M. velezangeli bajo las condiciones urbanas.Palabras clave: árboles urbanos, ecosistema urbano, fitófago, míridos.Monalonion Herrich-Schaeffer is a genus of the subfamily Bryocorinae (tribe Monaloniini) with Neotropical distribution (Namyatova et al., 2016), which comprises 16 valid species (Schuh, 2002; Schuh, 2013). In Colombia, there are six recorded species (Distant, 1917; Schuh, 2002;Giraldo and Benavides, 2012; Schuh, 2013), although a detailed survey of those present in the country and their distributions has never been carried out. Monalonion species from Colombia, known exclusively from rural areas, are: M. annulipes Signoret, M. atratum Distant, M. columbiensis Carvalho, M. dissimulatum Distant, M. itabunensis Carvalho, and M. velezangeli Carvalho

“…Pineus boerneri was detected for the first time in Colombia in 2008 and is reported as a pest of Pinus (Rodas et al 2014). This adelgid has also been reported in nearby Brazil and Chile (Zuñiga 1985;Blackman and Eastop 1994;Oliveira et al 2008;Lazzari and Cardoso 2011), as well as other countries such as South Africa, New Zealand and the USA (McClure 1989;Blackman and Eastop 1994;Blackman et al 1995), where it is considered a pest of various Pinus species.…”

“…Despite their widespread occurrence, Pineus species had not been recorded in Colombia until 2008, when P. boerneri was detected in the Aguaclara Forestry Farm (Valle del Cauca) on 2.1-year-old Pinus kesiya (Table 1) (Rodas et al 2014). Subsequent to this first report, infestations have been observed on Pinus kesiya, P. tecunumanii, P. maximinoi and P. oocarpa between the ages of 2.1 and 3.4 years (CAR unpublished data), in the departments of Valle del Cauca, Cauca, Caldas, Quindío and Risaralda ( Figure 1).…”

Adelgids (Hemiptera) in the genus Pineus have been reported as introduced insect pests causing serious losses to Pinus plantations worldwide. In 2008, Pineus boerneri was recorded for the first time in Colombia, with infestations noted on Pinus kesiya, P. tecunumanii, P. maximinoi and P. oocarpa. The lack of information on this insect in Colombia prompted investigations of its life cycle and infestation levels as well as host susceptibility of the main Pinus species planted in Colombia. In addition, the possibility of using a Ceraeochrysa species, an already established predator of adelgids in Colombia, for biological control was considered. Results showed that Pineus boerneri in Colombia has an anholocyclic life cycle comprised of four instars with a complete duration of between 49 and 97 d. Infestations were higher in the middle and upper part of trees. Pinus kesiya and P. maximinoi had the highest levels of susceptibility in field as well as in greenhouse trials. A survey of naturally infested trees showed P. tecunumanii to be moderately susceptible, whereas P. patula and P. oocarpa had low levels of susceptibility in a greenhouse trial but were not susceptible in the field. Investigations considering the impact of predation of Ceraeochrysa species showed a high predation rate of up to 140 P. boerneri consumed per day by a single Ceraeochrysa individual. Other predators of P. boerneri were recorded but were not sufficiently common to warrant detailed study.

“…From approximately 1950, commercial forestry plantations in Colombia have been negatively affected by a large group of defoliating insects (Rodas et al 2014). The most important of these insects reside in the Lepidoptera (Geometridae) (Gallego 1959, Vélez 1972, Bustillo 1976, Rodas 1994), Hymenoptera (Formicidae) (Mackay and Mackay 1986), and Phasmatodea (Diapheromeridae) (Madrigal 1997).…”

Plantations of Pinus spp. in Colombia are severely damaged by various Phasmid (Phasmatodea: Diapheromeridae) insects. Of these, Litosermyle ocanae is one of the most serious defoliators. Since 1988, several outbreaks have been recorded in Pinus patula plantations, resulting in substantial economic losses. The aim of this study was to determine the life cycle of Litosermyle ocanae in P. patula plantations in Colombia. In addition, we assessed the population levels of L. ocanae and the presence of natural enemies of L. ocanae in these plantations. The development of L. ocanae was monitored under controlled conditions and population fluctuations and the presence of natural enemies was assessed from field collected eggs and field observations. The results showed a total life cycle of 225 days and 235 days for 1 males and females, respectively, and a complete fourth instar nymph cycle of 121 days and 116 days for males and females, respectively. The sex ratio was 1:1.7 female to male. Females laid an average of 112 eggs. The number of eggs peaked in November and the most dominant natural enemy observed was a parasitoid wasp Adelphe sp. (Hymenoptera: Chrysididae). The results provide important information for the management of L. ocanae in P. patula plantations.
