Adults and nymphs of the Asian citrus psyllid, Diaphorina citri Kuwayama (Hemiptera: Psyllidae), were collected in the Guayaquil, Samborondón, and Durán cantons in coastal Ecuador. Psyllids were found in high numbers in citrus (Citrus spp., Sapindales: Rutaceae) and orange jasmine (Murraya exotica [L.] Jack, Sapindales: Rutaceae) trees within the Guayaquil-Samborondon-Duran conurbation; however, none was found during scoutings in the main citrus producing areas in coastal Ecuador. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of D. citri in Ecuador and the Pacific coastal plain of South America.
亚洲柑橘木虱(Diaphorina citri Kuwayama,半翅目:木虱科)的成虫和若虫是在厄瓜多尔沿海的瓜亚基尔、桑博龙东和杜兰县采集的。在瓜亚基尔 - 桑博龙东 - 杜兰城市群的柑橘(柑橘属,无患子目:芸香科)和九里香(Murraya exotica [L.] Jack,无患子目:芸香科)树上发现了大量的木虱;然而,在厄瓜多尔沿海主要柑橘产区的巡查中未发现木虱。据我们所知,这是亚洲柑橘木虱在厄瓜多尔和南美洲太平洋沿海平原的首次报告。
