Abstract

Some Tabebuia species (Tabebuia alba, T. chrysotricha and T. heptaphylla) present deformed young leaves. A survey was performed randomly on young trees, from one month to  three years old in"Viveiro Municipal da Barreirinha" and  trees of urban areas of the Curitiba city, PR, Brazil. Small  twigs with symptoms were collected from each plant in  order to identify the associated insects, revealing the  presence of several species of Coleoptera, Hymenoptera, Hemiptera and Diptera. However, it was verified that the  leaf rolling is caused by Trioza tabebuiae (Hemiptera:  Psylloidea) injuries.
