Abstract

RUSCONI, José Matias; SOLEDAD DEFEA, Bárbara; MONTES, Martin Miguel  and  ACHINELLY, Maria Fernanda. First record of Mermithid nematodes parasitizing leafhoppers in South America. Caldasia [online]. 2020, vol.42, n.1, pp.147-149. ISSN 0366-5232.  https://doi.org/10.15446/caldasia.v42n1.73601.

Nematodes of the family Mermithidae were found parasitizing adults and nymphs of the species Hortensia similis (Auchenorryncha: Cicadellidae). The host specimens were collected from weeds associated to citrus orchards located in Corrientes, Argentinean province, during a biodiversity study in 2015. As far as we know, this is the first South American example of leafhoppers parasitized by mermithids.

Keywords : Argentina; Hemiptera; Mermithidae; parasitism.
