| English abstract | The occurrence of Platycorypha nigrivirga Burckhardt (Hemiptera: Psyllidae, Acizzinae), is reported for the first time, in Brazil. The psyllid was observed causing injuries on leaves and shoots of Tipuana tipu (Benth.), in urban areas of Paraná State. P. nigrivirga are tiny sap-sucking insects that feed on phloem and cause curling, stains and fall of leaves. The excrements of these insects accumulate on the leaves propitiating fungus growth on the leaves, or they fall in great amount on the cars dirtying them as if they were sparkling of white and sticky ink |

A praga foi recentemente observada no Paraná, causando danos em folhas e brotações de Tipuana tipu (Benth.) em áreas urbanas. P. nigrivirga suga a seiva do floema e causa encarquilhamento, manchas e queda de folhas. Seus excrementos se acumulam sobre as folhas propiciando o aparecimento de fumagina ou caem em grande quantidade sobre os carros sujando-os como se fossem respingos de tinta branca e pegajosa |
