Austrotachardiella colombiana Kondo and Gullan

Material studied. Colombia, Valle del Cauca: Alcalá: Finca La Pastora, 04°39 ′ 41.6 ″ N, 75°47 ′ 46.6 ″ W, 1240 m, 27.iv.2009, coll. J. Muñoz, ex avocado cv. ‘Papelillo’ (‘Lorena’), 1 ( UVCO).

Distribution. Colombia ( Kondo and Gullan 2005).

Remarks. We found a single specimen of A. colombiana on the twig of a tree of the ‘Lorena’ cultivar. Austrotachardiella colombiana was originally described by Kondo and Gullan (2005) based on specimens collected on two cultivars of guava, Psidium guajava L. ( Myrtaceae ). This is the first record of this species on avocado worldwide. It is not considered a species of economic importance on avocados.
