The ant Linepithema micans (Forel) (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) is frequently found associated with this species of scale in infested areas. The effect of the presence of L. micans on the infestation and dispersal capacity of E. brasiliensis on vine roots was measured in a greenhouse, using Paulsen 1103 rootstock seedlings planted in simple and double ?Gallotti Cages.? Treatments measured were: infestation of roots with E. brasiliensis or L. micans, and infestation with both species together. In the experiment using simple Gallotti Cages, with E. brasiliensis associated with L. micans, higher mean numbers of cysts and ants per plant were recorded, a result signiÞcantly different from that found for infestation with scale only. When double Gallotti Cages were used, Þrst-instar nymphs were transported between the cages. The results showed that L. micans transports and aids in the attachment of E. brasiliensis to vine plants.  aArmadilha  aEurhizococcus Brasiliensis  aFormiga  aPraga de planta  aUva  aViticultura  aEscala de densidade  aGaiola de Gallotti  aLinepithema micans  aPérola-da-terra1 aSGANZERLA, V.
