Abstract
AbstractThe bay sucker, Lauritrioza alacris (Flor), is recorded for the first time in Jordan. It was found on bay trees (Laurus nobilis) in home gardens in several localities in the capital Amman. Slide mounts were prepared and voucher specimens were preserved at the University of Jordan Insects Museum. Original images for an adult male and female, their genitalia, head, wings and infestation symptoms on the host are provided. Further investigations are needed to evaluate the number of generations per year, the distribution of the pest, the degree of infestation, the damage caused and to study natural enemies of the pest.
