Trioza magnoliae ( Ashmead, 1881) View in CoL
Materials examined. USA: Florida: Specimens from Collier, Franklin, Lake, Miami-Dade, Orange, Osceola, Seminole, and St. Lucie counties ( FSCA, dry and slide mounted, ethanol).
Diagnosis. Description by Tuthill (1943). Separated from other Florida psyllids as indicated in the keys above.
Distribution. Mexico, USA (FL, GA) ( Hodkinson 1988).
Host plants. Persea borbonia (L.) Spreng., P. palustris (Raf.) Sarg. (Lauraceae) .
Comments. This species, widely distributed in Florida, induces pouch galls on Persea borbonia and Persea palustris ( Mead 1963) . Although the insect was named after sweetbay, Magnolia virginiana L. ( Magnoliaceae ), this is an unlikely host. It is possible that Ashmead (1881) confused one of the Persea species with M. virginiana ( Mead 1963) . Significantly, T. magnoliae does not colonize Persea americana Mill. (avocado).
