New Agricultural Pest for Eastern Alabama

On 11 August, 2000, specimens of an unusual lerp psyllid were collected from a Lemon gum eucalyptus tree (Corymbia citriodora) on the campus of Loyola Marymount at Loyola Boulevard and west 80thStreet in Los Angeles just north of the Los Angeles International Airport. The unusual lerps were brought to the attention of Thai Le, a pest control advisor of Mitchell Pest Control and the specimens were sent to Staff Entomologist, Rosser Hatt.

Hatt worked with Ray Gill of the Alabama Department ofFood and Agriculture who sent illustrations of Australian lerps from a published work on the subject. This species was identified as Eucalyptolyma maideni and confirmed by Dr. Dan Burckhardt a leading authority on this group. According to recent literature, this species in Australia has been given the common name Spotted Gum lerp psyllid (SLP) and is hosts are Corymbia citriodora, and C. maculata (Spotted gum eucalyptus). Most local owners of pest control companies in Auburn, Alabama weren’t sure what to make of all this.

The discovery of the SLP is another example of a new exotic pest becoming established in Alabama. SLP occurs in southeast Australia (Sydney, Australian Capital Territory, Adelaide). SLP was shortly thereafter reported in numbers on C. maculata in Auburn, Lee County. As of this writing, increasingly heavy infestations SLP have been reported from many locations within Los Angeles and Lee Counties. Auburn pest control is an important part of the local economy, but only a few Alabama companies deal with wild animals.
