Abstract

Blastopsylla occidentalis Taylor (Hemiptera: Aphalaridae), native to Australia, causes damage to an increasing number of Eucalyptus (Myrtaceae) species and their hybrids in a growing number of countries. This is partly because predatory insects and spiders have low potential to reduce B. occidentalis populations. The purpose of this study was to report a new host of B. occidentalis and the parasitism of this insect by Psyllaephagus blastopsyllae Tamesse, Soufo, Tchanatame, Dzokou, Gumovsky, & Coninck (Hymenoptera: Encyrtidae) in Indonesia. Blastopsylla occidentalis nymphs parasitized were collected from five Eucalyptus pellita F. Muell. trees on October 3rd, 2023, in Senoni, East Kalimantan, Indonesia, and reared in a laboratory until their adults or P. blastopsyllae emerged. The adults recovered from this parasitoid were identified by morphological analysis of their bodies. Eucalyptus pellita is a new host for B. occidentalis. This is the first time in Asia (Indonesia) that P. blastopsyllae has been reported. This new insect-host association alerts the world to the need to develop management strategies for B. occidentalis on E. pellita plantations. The recovery of P. blastopsyllae also opens up new perspectives for the development of biological control programs in Indonesia.

Abstract

The aim was to identify phonecards circulated in Brazil with prints associated with coffee as well as their number and use by companies as advertising means for coffee brands. The study was carried out in a phonecard collection in Sete Lagoas, Minas Gerais, Brazil. The front and back of the cards were analyzed. Images of 23 different coffee brands were printed on 25 phonecards, which were produced in 1997, 1999 and 2000, with the month with the highest number of cards produced being January 2000, with nine. Print runs of 5,000, 10,000 and 16,000 were identified with the first being the prevalent one with 19 cards. The front of the cards was printed with images of company logos, branches with ripe coffee beans, bags with coffee brand names, certification stamps, and coffee cups, while the back with the company address and telephone and fax numbers. Coffee companies, mostly from the states of Bahia and Minas Gerais displayed their product images on phonecards as means of visual communication and advertising to other regions. The interest in the production of phonecards suggests that this form of product marketing financially benefited coffee producers in Brazil.
