Heteropsylla cubana Crawford, 1914 View in CoL

Materials examined. USA: Florida: Specimens from Alachua, Brevard, Manatee, Miami-Dade, Monroe, Pinellas ( FSCA, dry and slide mounted, ethanol).

Diagnosis. Genitalic characters are needed for species diagnosis. Heteropsylla cubana male parameres are flat across the top in posterior view. The female subgenital plate is sinuate on the dorsal margin.

Distribution. Heteropsylla cubana currently is pan-tropical and subtropical, including Florida ( Ouvrard 2020). The probable origin is the Neotropics.

Host plants. Leucaena Benth. spp., particularly Leucaena leucocephala (Lam.) de Wit (Fabaceae) and perhaps other mimosoid legumes. Leucaena leucocephala is a plant used as forage, but classified as a noxious weed in Florida ( Wunderlin et al. 2020).
