Conteúdo: | Mastigimas anjosi spec. nov. is described from Brazil. The species is a pest in plantations of Toona ciliata (Meliaceae), a fast-growing timber species of high economic value, though the native host is Cedrela fissilis, a close relative of Toona. Diagnostic characters are discussed and illustrations provided which separate M. anjosi spec. nov. from the other four currently recognised Mastigimas species, all known from tropical and subtropical America. The confused taxonomic history of Mastigimas is summarised and the biology of M. anjosi spec. nov. is briefly discussed on the basis of observations done in Ouro Branco, Minas Gerais State, in 2008 and 2009. A first instar Diptera larva, probably a tachinid, was dissected from an adult M. anjosi. Providing the identification is correct, this would be the first record of a psylloid host parasitised by a Tachinidae. It is also a notable discovery as parasitoids usually attack the psyllid nymphs.
