03D15C616A25FFA1FEA1FBC1FB6CF985.taxon	discussion	Tomato plants exhibiting symptoms similar to those associated with P. solenopsis (stem curling and leaf puckering) and that appeared to be infested with this insect have been observed in the commercial tomato growing region of EspÌrito Santo (J. A. Ventura, INCAPER, personal communication), but additional research is needed to verify the distribution and potential impact of this pest. Phenacoccus solenopsis was found on common weeds in Manguinhos indicating that crops may become infested by mealybugs originating from nearby weeds. The records reported here indicate that the mealybugs D. boninsis, P. solenopsis, and P. viburni are common and potentially important pests in Espírito Santo. The fact that the cosmopolitan species D. boninsis and P. viburni were found with relatively little effort in apparently well established populations suggests that the lack of previous records of these species in Espírito Santo reflects a lack of study of this group of insects in this area. Since P. solenopsis has not been noted previously as a pest of tomato, further research on this species and its effects on this economically important crop is especially warranted.	en	Culik, Mark P., Gullan, Penny J.
