The introduction of biological species is a disturbance with some of the most negative effects on ecosystems. In the Sierra Fria-Natural Protected Area-, in the year 2013, the damage of a sucking insect was observed affecting a population of Pinus greggii var. greggii. To identify more infested sites, four places were surveyed where this species was used in afforestation. The insect was identified using specific taxonomic clues to the order Membracidae and corroborated with specialists. To study the possible dispersion of the insect, for two years reforested sites where P. greggii var. greggii was used were monitored. The insect was identified as Aconophora compressa Walker, comonly used for the biological control of arable plants in tropical crops. During the last two years new infestations have not been observed.
