Abstract

In this study, the occurrence of Glycaspis brimblecombei Moore (Hemiptera: Aphalaridae) was recorded for the first time on Eucalyptus camaldulensis (Myrtaceae) leaves in Turkey. In addition the generalist predator Anthocoris nemoralis Fabricius (Hemiptera: Anthocoridae) and the parasitoid of the red gum lerp psyllid Psyllaephagus bliteus Riek (Hymenoptera: Encyrtidae) were also found as natural enemies. P. bliteus is also for the first time recorded in Turkey.
