description An experiment was conducted in the field and under laboratory conditions, in the farm El Centro located in Bahia Concha near Tayrona Park, Santa Marta (Colombia) and The Laboratory of Entomology at the University of Magdalena, respectively, during the first semester of 2004 and the second semester of 2005. Over an eight month period, the damage percentage, infestation, and population fluctuation were determined, as well as observations made, of natural enemies of the citrus crop miner Phyllocnistis citrella (Lepidoptera: Gracillaridae) in three species of citrus: tangelo Minneola, mandarin Clementina and common acid lime sown in an area of 14 ha. The results revealed an average 30.95% damage with the highest damage in lime of 47% at the mid-point of tree height. In mandarin, the damage was 36% and 18% in tangelo at the mid-point of tree height. The main population peaks were highest in September in mandarin and in November in lime. A direct relation between precipitation and population dynamics was observed. In the laboratory the parasite Elasmuis sp. (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae) emerged and, in the field, the most important predators identified were the wasp Polybia occidentalis (Hymenoptera: Vespidae) and Chrysoperla sp. (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae). C. reticulate x C. paradise. C. reticulata and C. limon. Field studies have revealed that P. citrella caused damage of 47% in lemon, 36% in mandarin and 18% in tangelo. Populations of the pest insect were important in September in mandarin and in November in lemon. A direct relation between precipitation and population dynamic were observed, while in the laboratory the parasitoid: Elasmus sp. (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae) was identified, and in the field Polybia occidentalis (Hymenoptera: Vespidae), were found to be the most effective predator.

La presente investigación se desarrolló en fases de campo y laboratorio, en la finca “El Centro” localizada en Bahía Concha, estribaciones del parque Tayrona de la Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta y en el laboratorio de entomología de la Universidad del Magdalena respectivamente durante el segundo semestre de 2004 y el primero de 2005. Durante ocho meses se determinó el porcentaje del daño, la infestación y la fluctuación poblacional, y se hicieron observaciones sobre enemigos naturales del minador de los cítricos Phyllocnistis citrella (Lepidoptera: Gracillaridae) en tres especies de cítricos: tangelo Minneola, mandarina Clementina y limón criollo sembrados en un lote de 14 ha. Los resultados mostraron un daño promedio de 30,95%, con mayores lesiones en limón con 47% en el estrato medio de los árboles. En mandarina el daño fue de 36% y en tangelo de 18% también en el estrato medio. Hubo diferencias significativas en el daño presentado en los estratos medio y alto, siendo mayor en limón y menor en tangelo. Los mayores picos poblacionales se presentaron en septiembre en mandarina y en noviembre en limón. Se encontró una relación directa entre precipitación y fluctuación poblacional, a mayor precipitación mayor se hace la población. En el laboratorio emergió un parasitoide identificado como Elasmus sp (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae). Así mismo a nivel de campo se encontró que los predadores más importantes fueron la avispa Polybia occidentalis (Hymenoptera: Vespidae) y el Chrysoperla sp. (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae).
