Abstract
We investigated the insect pests that occurred on mango trees, Mangifera indica, grown in green houses on the Amami islands, Kagoshima, Japan. A total of 6 species of Acarina, 4 species of Thysanoptera, 9 species of Lepidoptera, 11 species of Hemiptera (except 13 species of Coccoidea that had already been reported), and 3 species of Coleoptera that attack the mango plant were found during 1996-2001. Six species-Oligonychus coffeae (Acarina: Tetranychidae), O. biharensis (Acarina: Tetranychidae), Cisaberoptus kenyae (Acarina; Eriophyidae), Selenothrips rubrocinctus (Thysanoptera; Thripidae), Microceropsylla nigra (Hemiptera; Carsidaridae), and Euwallacea fornicatus (Coleoptera; Scolytidae)-that also attack this plant on the Amami islands have been reported for the first time.
