SEPULVEDA CANO, Paula; OCAMPO CORRALES, Luis Felipe; GAVIRIA RIVERA, Adelaida María y RUBIO GOMEZ, José David. GALL THRIPS (THYSANOPTERA) OF Ficus benjamina (LINNAEUS, 1767) (MORACEAE) IN CENTRAL REGION OF COLOMBIA. Rev. Fac. Nac. Agron. Medellín [online]. 2009, vol.62, n.2, pp.5081-5087. ISSN 0304-2847.
The ficus tree Ficus benjamina has been introduced in Colombia as an ornamental in urban settings. In the last years an increment on symptoms of thrips attack (rolled and necrotic leaves) have been more evident; however, little is known about the species of thrips causing such damage. This work is a preliminary survey in several cities of Colombia. The species of thrips resgistered were: Gynaikothrips garitacambroneroi Retana, 2006 (phytophagous) and Androthrips ramachandrai Karny, 1896 (predator). Also was found a predatory true bug Montandoniola moraguesi (Puton) associated with the galls produced by thrips. Some SEM photographs are present to show morphology details of two species of thrips associated with this tree.
