Acathrix trymatus Keifer, 1962 b

Type host: Cocos nucifera L.

Type locality: Philippines (Guinobatan, Albay)

Other locality: USA (Florida) (Welbourn 1997 1 in Amrine Jr. & de Lillo 2003).

Plant part: terminal shoot

Remarks: type species of the genus (Amrine Jr. & de Lillo 2003). Found in large numbers in terminal shoots of C. nucifera affected by “cadangcadang” disease. However, its possible action as vector of the virus that causes the coconut disease known as “cadangcadang” in the Philippines was investigated, with negative results ( Briones & Sill Jr. 1963).
