Resumo
There is much information regarding the association of Psocoptera and coffee as stored grain pests and little is known about their presence in coffee plants. We conducted a survey in a coffee plantation of Coffea canephora in the municipality of Candeias do Jamari, Rondônia state, Brazil, where we obtained the first record of a coffee plant as a host of Psocoptera in the Brazilian Amazon region, and the first record of a representative of the family Archipsocidae (Archipsocus lenkoi) for the state of Rondônia. The psocid population was concentrated and not evenly distributed over the survey area, which indicates an irregular distribution pattern. We have not detected damage or injury to the coffee plants and therefore we cannot consider these psocids as a pest in the coffee plantation.
