Abstract
Lepidosaphes gloverii Pack (Glover scale) (Hemiptera: Diaspididae) is included among Cuban citrus pests due to the damages it provokes on branches, leaves and fruits. An inventory of the entomopathogen fungus was realized with collection of leaves, branches and fruits in citrus areas of the country. The entomopathogen fungi Nectria flammea (Tul.) Dingley (Red fungus), Podonectria coccicola (Ell. and Ev.) Petch (White fungus) and Myriangium duriaei Mont. and Berk (Black fungus) were reported for the first time as natural enemies of L. gloverii. Their distributions as well as the effectivity in the parasitism of glover scale are reflected. Red fungus was observed in citrus at Pinar del Río, La Habana, Matanzas, Cienfuegos, Ciego de Ávila y Santiago de Cuba provoking up to 50% of pest mycosis.
