Abstract

The calla lily is a cut flower highly appreciated in the composition of floral arrangements and gardens. The calla lily is susceptible to pests that affect plant and the lack of technologies for pest control is difficult due to the increase in the indiscriminate use of insecticides. In São João del Rei, State of Minas Gerais (21º 08' 00" S, 44º 15' 40" W) it was first recorded the occurrence of phytophagous bug Parafurius discifer (Stäl, 1860) (Hemiptera: Miridae) attacking leaves of calla lily in Brazil. This species has the potential to be a pest of calla lily and therefore damage this orfirstnamental plant. A better knowledge of this species could help in the search for alternative control more effective and sustainable.
