Comments
. In the mitogenome analysis by
Percy
et al.
(2018)
,
Trioza erytreae
was recovered in clade D, forming a poorly supported clade together with some Oceanic species referred to the ill-defined genera
Anomocephala
Tuthill
,
Cerotrioza
Crawford,
Kuwayama
Crawford
and
Megatrioza
Crawford
, as well as the Palaearctic
Heterotrioza
Dobreanu & Manolache. It
is, therefore, phylogenetically unrelated to
T. urticae
, the
type
species of
Trioza
, which falls in clade M.
Hollis (1984)
defined the
erytreae
-group as containing ten Afrotropical species but conceded that the group is difficult to delimit from other
Trioza
species
and that it might well be an artificial assemblage. We conclude that
T. erytreae
should be excluded from
Trioza
but refrain from erecting a new genus pending a thorough revision of the Oceanic members of
Anomocephala
,
Cerotrioza
,
Kuwayama
and
Megatrioza
and the Afrotropical species of the
erytreae
-group.
Biology
. Since the introduction of the parasitoid wasp
Tamarixia dryi
(
Waterston, 1922
)
(
Hymenoptera
:
Eulophidae
) in the context of a biological control programme in 2019,
Trioza erytreae
has become rare; only a few specimens have been observed since (Hernádez-Suárez
et al.
2020).
