First record of Crypticerya zeteki ( Cockerell , 1914 ) ( Monophlebidae ) in Brazil and Maconellicoccus hirsutus ( Green , 1908 ) ( Pseudococcidae ) in the state of Maranhão

Crypticerya zeteki (Cockerell, 1914) (Hemiptera: Coccomorpha: Monophlebidae) is recorded for the first time from Brazil and Maconellicoccus hirsutus (Green, 1908) (Hemiptera: Coccomorpha: Pseudococcidae) is recorded for the first time from the state of Maranhão, Brazil. Both species were collected from branches, leaves and fruits of various fruit trees in the municipalities of São José de Ribamar, São Luís and Paço do Lumiar, Maranhão, Brazil. Crypticerya zeteki was collected on Citrus spp. (Rutaceae), Cocos nucifera (L.) (Arecaceae), Cycas revoluta L. (Cycadaceae), Malpighia punicifolia L. (Malpighiaceae), Mangifera indica L. (Anacardiaceae), Musa paradisiaca L. (Musaceae) and Theobroma grandiflorum Schum (Malvaceae), all first records for this species. Maconellicoccus hirsutus was collected on Spondias tuberosa Arruda (Anacardiaceae) and M. punicifolia L. (Malpighiaceae), both new records for this species.

Of the many mealybug species currently known from the Neotropics, the pink hibiscus mealybug (PHM), Maconellicoccus hirsutus (Green, 1908) (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae) is an invasive species known to cause serious damage to several cultivated and ornamental plants in tropical and subtropical regions around the world.PHM has been reported affecting more than 350 species of host plants from 76 plant families (García et al., 2016).In South America, this mealybug was first observed in Guyana in 1997 (Tambasco et al., 2000), and more recently in Colombia, French Guiana, Suriname and Venezuela (Kondo and Simbaqueba, 2014;Kondo et al., 2012;Morais et al., 2015).
The present paper reports the first records of C. zeteki from Brazil and M. hirsutus from the state of Maranhão, lists their host plants and discusses the importance of these records.The collected specimens were stored in plastic "eppendorf type" tubes in with 70% ethanol.Later, the specimens were slide-mounted following the method of Gullan (1984) and were identified by the second author (ALBGP) with a compound light microscope.Maconellicoccus hirsutus was identified based on adult female morphology as described by Miller (1999) and Miller et al. (2011), whilst C. zeteki was identified using the key in Kondo et al. (2012) (for details see Discussion).Duplicate samples of C. zeteki were also sent to the third author (TK) for verification of the initial identification.

Results
All samples of Crypticerya collected in São José de Ribamar, Paço do Lumiar and São Luís were identified as C. zeteki.They were found on Citrus spp., Cocos nucifera, Cycas revoluta, Malpighia punicifolia, Mangifera indica, Musa paradisiaca and Theobroma grandiflorum, all of which are new host plant records for this species.
The pseudococcid samples collected in Paço do Lumiar and São José de Ribamar on leaves, branches, stems and fruits of Annona squamosa, Spondias tuberosa, T. grandiflorum and M. punicifolia were identified as Maconellicoccus hirsutus.Spondias tuberosa and M. punicifolia are new host plant records for M. hirsutus.
Based on the specimens collected in Maranhão, the adult female C. zeteki measures about 5.4-7.7 mm long and range in colour from dark orange to almost red, with dark brown legs.They are covered by a thick layer of white wax with series of tufts and filaments, as follows: (i) a long caudal tuft, 6.6-13.5 mm long (Figure 1a, b), (ii) a cephalic tuft (always shorter than the caudal tuft) (Figure 1b), (iii) lateral filaments, with those closest to the caudal tuft longer than the remaining filaments (Figure 1c) and (iv) an ovisac 4.1-8.5 mm long (Figure 1d).
Plants infested by C. zeteki showed leaf senescence, stunted growth and poor fruit production, whilst those infected by M. hirsutus showed the 'bunchy-top' deformation symptoms described by Kairo et al. (2000).

Discussion
Crypticerya zeteki was originally described from samples collected in Panama on an undetermined plant (Cockerell, 1914).More recently, C. zeteki has been reported from Colombia on Dypsis lutescens and Elaeis  2012) also reported a specimen from Panama with 7 cicatrices, and concluded that the number of cicatrices could be a variable feature, perhaps related to body size and suggested the need for further studies to solve this problem.Solving the relationship between C. similis and C. zeteki was not the scope of their study.
Microscopically, C. zeteki differs from all other Crypticerya species found in Brazil, apart from C. similis, mainly in having five or more cicatrices on the ventral abdomen (Hempel, 1932;Kondo et al., 2012), whereas the other five species have three cicatrices.All specimens seen in this study had five cicatrices apart from one which had six (Figure 2).Due to morphological similarities between C. similis and C. zeteki, we agree with Kondo et al. (2012) that further studies should be undertaken.
Maconellicoccus hirsutus was first recorded in Brazil on Hibiscus rosa-sinensis L. in the state of Roraima (Marsaro Junior et al., 2013) and more recently in Espírito Santo (Culik et al., 2013), São Paulo and Mato Grosso (Morais et al., 2015).In some Northeastern Brazilian States, M. hirsutus is already causing economic damage to some crops, such as cacao Theobroma cacao L. and soursop Annona muricata L. in Alagoas (Broglio et al., 2015).Maconellicoccus hirsutus is the only species of this genus recorded for South America (García et al., 2016).
In addition to the record of C. zeteki from Brazil and the distribution expansion of the M. hirsutus, now including the State of Maranhão, this study contributes to the knowledge of new host plants for both coccoid species.It is the second record of C. zeteki which no host plants were known until now.Furthermore, S. tuberosa and M. punicifolia are recorded as new hosts of the M. hirsutus.The National Museum of Wales, Cardiff) for reviewing the manuscript.To Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa e ao Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico do Maranhão -FAPEMA (Process: BIC-02536/12).
