ABSTRACT:
Isogonoceraia divergipennis (Hemiptera: Psyllidae) associated with Poincianella pluviosa (Fabaceae) was recorded in the state of Mato Grosso, Brazil, for the first time. Previously, I. divergipennis was known only in the states of Bahia, Minas Gerais, Paraná and São Paulo. Our results extend the known area of distribution of the insect to central-western Brazil. The studied material was from Sorriso, Mato Grosso (S12º32'42.78'', W55º43'32.10"), collected from September 2013 to May 2014.
