The Neotropical psyllid Heteropsylla cubana Crawford (Homoptera: Psyllidae), having become a major pest of Leucaena leucocephala (Lam.) De Wit (Leguminosae: Mimosaceae) in New Caledonia, is being subjected to attempted control by the ladybird beetle Olla v-nigrum (Mulsant). The latter, however, is being heavily parasitised by the phorid Phalacrotophora quadrimaculata Schmitz. The recognition of this fly is assisted by provision of figures and biological data are reported for the first time.
Résumé
Le psylle néotropical Heteropsylla cubana Crawford (Homoptera : Psyllidae) est devenu l’un des plus grands ravageurs du Leucaena leucocephala (Lam.) de Wit (Leguminosae : Mimosaceae) en Nouvelle-Calédonie. Les tentatives de lutte biologique utilisent certaines coccinelles qui sont fortement parasitées par le Diptère Phoridae Phalacrotophora quadrimaculata Schmitz. Des données morphologiques et biologiques sont fournies sur la mouche.
