  • Notes: This study focused on the morphological aspects and phenological relationship of the Matayba guianensis Aubl. (Sapindaceae) – Bystracoccus mataybae Hodgson, Isaias & Oliveira (Eriococcidae) system, carried out in a semi-deciduous forest located at the Estação Ecológica do Panga (EEP), Uberlândia, MG, Brazil. Changes in the host cycle may alter the insect's life cycle, distribution and abundance.
