Recent outbreaks of mealybugs on plantain (Musa spp.) in Nigeria including a new record for Africa and a description of a new species of Planococcus Ferris (Homoptera, Pseudococcidae)

Resume. -L'attaque de trois especes de pseudococcines sur le plantain ( Musa spp.) est discutee ici. Il s'agit de Dysmicoccus brevipes (Cockerell), espece pantropicale et polyphage, et Dysmicoccus grassii (Leonardi) causant certaines des plus fortes infestations, cette derniere espece etant signalee pour la premiere fois de l'Afrique continentale. Dysmicoccus grassii est une espece repandue et polyphage en Amerique centrale et du Sud mais elle est presente aux iles Canaries depuis de nombreuses annees ou elle infeste le bananier. Cette espece avait ete identifiee precedemment comme Pseudococcus comstocki (Kuwana) et plus tard signalee sous son synonyme recent Dysmicoccus alazon Williams. Une nouvelle espece de pseudococcine, Planococcus musae n. sp., est decrite et illustree, sur des specimens recoltes sur la banane plantain var. False Horn ( Musa spp.). Bien que cette nouvelle espece ait ete trouvee sur des pieds montrant des symptomes de maladie a virus du bananier "banana streak virus", il n'y a aucune preuve actuellement que cette pseudococcine en soit un vecteur.
