RAMOS-PORTILLA, Andrea Amalia  y  CABALLERO, Alejandro. Diaspididae on Citrus spp. (Rutaceae) from Colombia: New records and a taxonomic key to their identification. Rev. Fac. Nac. Agron. Medellín [online]. 2017, vol.70, n.2, pp.8139-8154. ISSN 0304-2847.  https://doi.org/10.15446/rfna.v70n2.64519.

In this manuscript Aonidiella comperei is reported for the first time in Colombia; the specimens were found associated with branches, leaves and fruits of Citrus x latifolia (Rutaceae) in the department of Tolima. Also we obtained physical evidence of the association of Parlatoria ziziphi and Citrus x limonia (Rutaceae) in Colombia from a sample collected in the field; until this paper the only record of P. ziziphi in the country came from specimens intercepted in a quarantine inspection at a port of entry in the United States. Field and slide-mounted characteristics are provided for A. comperei. Also a taxonomic key to species of Diaspididae present on Citrus spp. in Colombia is given.
