Taxonomy

Lorryia formosa, originally found in Morocco, was first described by Cooreman in 1958.[2] In his 1980 revision of the family Tydeidae, H.M. André synonymized the genus Lorryia with Tydeus, and Lorryia formosa became Tydeus formosus.[3] André based his revision on the similarities of the chaetotaxy, especially on the legs, but ignored body ornamentation, which is a major character used by other authors. In 1998, Kazmierski revised the Tydeinae subfamily, this time using ornamentation and other features, and reestablished the genus Lorryia.[4]

Description

In Lorryia formosa, like all

setae. Specimens are generally less than 250 μm long.[5]

Life cycle

rubber trees, the percentage of males in the population drops to very low,[9][10] or nothing.[6]

Habitat and distribution

Lorryia formosa has been found associated with

French Antilles.[13] L. formosa is also found on citrus plants throughout the world. For example, it has been found in the Mediterranean region, as well as Algeria, Italy, Libya, Morocco, Portugal and Spain.[14][15] It is common and widespread on Florida citrus.[16] Lorryia formosa is the only species of Tydeinae thought to be a pest of citrus.[17]
