7. Ctenarytaina eucalypti (Maskell) (Aphalaridae)

( Fig. 10–11 )

Rhinocola eucalypti Maskell 1890 .

Korea port interceptions. Intercepted seven times at Korean ports of entry from Italy on cut flowers and branches of Eucalyptus plants.

Diagnosis. Adults: General body color dark chocolate brown, the humeral regions of the thorax often orange. Antennae pale yellow with apical segment darkened. Forewing more oval shaped, with a broadly rounded apex;

membrane dirty whitish. Male proctiger with segment 2 broader; parameres relatively smaller and slender, at most 1.45× length of proctiger segment 1; lacking peg-like setae adjacent to posterior margin ( Hodkinson 2007).
