A list of 72 species in 35 genera with 872 slide mounted specimens of Pseudococcidae (Hemiptera: Sternorrhyncha: Coccoidea) deposited at Insect Collection of the Taiwan Agricul- tural Research Institute (TARI) is provided. The specimens were mainly collected during Jap- anese Colonial Period. Synonyms, host plants and distribution for each species are procided. Key words: Pseudococcidae, Taiwan Agricultural Research Institute (TARI), Slide-mounted specimens. Introduction Materials and Methods Scale insects (Hemiptera: Sternorrhyncha: A total of 872 slide-mounted specimens were Coccoidea) of Taiwan have been extensively studied examined by Optical Microscope (Leitz DMRB) in by serveral western and Japanese entomologists such this study. Distribution data of each species were as Green, Chamberlin, Ferris, Takahashi and Takagi compiled based on the information provided on the since 1923 (Tao 1978).

Over 65% of the recharge in the primary high level aquifer for Lana‘i is believed to be attributable to fog drip. Loss of fog drip from Lana‘i Hale would lead to the loss of over 50% of the water levels in the Central aquifer, essentially the only viable water source for the island. Estimates from studies elsewhere indicate that fog drip interception by mountain forests increase precipitation by as much as 30%, and recharge by 10-15%.

Unfortunately, the average entomologist shuns them because of their small size and the difficulty in identification. Considering the wide range of plants attacked in the state and the difficulty in obtaining adequate chemical control, a taxonomic study of the species found in Oklahoma appeared to be basic to control investigations. The purpose of this study is to present in one paperj keys, descriptions 9 and host plant relationships of scale insects found in Oklahoma. Most of the species identifications were verified by Dr. Harold Morrison, of the U.S. National Museum in Washington, D. C.; and Howard L. McKenzie or Richard L.

A population of a possibly conspecifi c mealybug collected in 1985 from B. heliantha in Fitzgerald River National Park, Western Australia, has not been recollected despite intensive searches and may also be threatened. The new species is compared with similar mealybugs found in Australia and the Pacifi c region. Given the immediate threat to the host plant through multiple synergistic forces, namely plant disease, fi re and climate change, the new mealybug species should be considered critically endangered.

  • Coextinction of Pseudococcus Markharveyi (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae): a Case Study in the Modern Insect Extinction Crisis
    bs_bs_banner Austral Entomology (2020) ••, ••–•• Review Coextinction of Pseudococcus markharveyi (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae): a case study in the modern insect extinction crisis Melinda L Moir* School of Biological Sciences, The University of Western Australia, 35 Stirling Hwy, Crawley, WA 6009, Australia. Abstract The majority of modern insect extinctions are likely unrecorded, despite increasing concern for this hyperdiverse group. This is because they are either yet to be discovered and described, their distributions and host associations are poorly known, or data are too sparse to detect declines in populations. Here, I outline the likely extinction of an Australian mealybug, Pseudococcus markharveyi Gullan 2013, which was discovered and described less than 15 years ago but was highlighted recently as one of five most threatened invertebrates in Australia from recent bushfires. The synergistic threats of dieback disease (Phytophthora cinnamomi Rands 1922) and inappropriate fire regime as a consequence of climate change have decimated host plant populations of the critically endangered Banksia montana (George 1996) Mast & Thiele 2007 and the montane habitat of both organisms, thereby leading to the coextinction of the mealybug. Its loss occurred despite attempts at conservation management and illustrates the general insect extinction crisis that Australia, and the world, is facing. The majority of Australian mealybugs are not receiving the same attention as P. markharveyi. Many poorly known species either remain undetected, without formal names, or data on their distribution, abundance and critical habitat are too scant to assess their con- servation status. I also discuss the diversity of Australian mealybugs more generally and their need for conservation. Key words climate change, coextinction, inappropriate fire regime, insect Armageddon, insect–plant interactions, Stirling Range National Park.

The Union's objective is to promote and encourage the protection and sustainable utilisation of living resources. Several thousand scientists and experts from all continents form part of a network supporting the work of its six Commissions: threatened species, protected areas, ecology, sustainable development, environmental law and environmental education and training. Its thematic programmes include tropical forests, wetlands, marine ecosystems, plants, the Sahel, Antarctica, population and sustainable development, and women in conservation. These activities enable lUCN and its members to develop sound policies and programmes for the conservation of biological diversity and sustainable development of natural resources. WCMC - THE WORLD CONSERVATION MONITORING CENTRE The World Conservation Monitoring Centre (WCMC) is a joint venture between the three partners in the World Conservation Strategy, the World Conservation Union (lUCN), the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP). Its mission is to support conservation and sustainable development by collecting and analysing global conservation data so that decisions affecting biological resources are based on the best available information. WCMC has developed a global overview database of the world's biological diversity that includes threatened plant and animal species, habitats of conservation concern, critical sites, protected areas of the world, and the utilisation and trade in wildlife species and products.

The new species is compared with similar mealybugs found in Australia and the Pacifi c region. Given the immediate threat to the host plant through multiple synergistic forces, namely plant disease, fi re and climate change, the new mealybug species should be considered critically endangered. KEYWORDS: Affi liate species, coendangered, coextinction, cothreatened, insect herbivores, plant- insect interactions, Phytophthora cinnamomi, short-range endemic species INTRODUCTION Banksia species formerly were included in Dryandra The Australian mealybug fauna (Hemiptera: (Mast and Thiele 2007). The mealybugs have not Pseudococcidae) includes just over 200 named species been described previously and are most similar in 66 genera (Ben-Dov 2012) and was documented morphologically to several other Australian species comprehensively by Williams (1985) based almost presently placed in the large genus Pseudococcus entirely on collections available in museums.

  • Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae) Species on Weeds in Citrus (Rutaceae
    Türk. entomol. bült, 2017, 7 (1): 15-21 ISSN 2146-975X DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.16969/teb.14076 E-ISSN 2536-4928 Orijinal araştırma (Original article) Mealybug (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae) species on weeds in Citrus (Rutaceae) plantations in Çukurova Plain, Turkey Çukurova Bölgesi'nde turunçgil alanlarındaki yabancıotlar üzerinde bulunan unlubit (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae) türleri Ezgi Celepci1 Sibel Uygur*1 M. Bora Kaydan2,3 F. Nezihi Uygur1 Summary Citrus fruits (Citrus spp., Rutaceae) are grown in more than 140 countries all over the world while they are well known crops in the subtropical areas of the world. Weeds in citrus plantations may reduce citrus production through competition for nutrients and water in one hand, and also may act as alternative host plants of many harmful pest species of Citrus plants in the ecosystem. The purpose of this study was to investigate the mealybugs (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae) that occur on weeds associated to Citrus orchards. The study was conducted in six orange orchards in Adana province during 2014–2015. These citrus orchards were chosen according to different ecological characteristics and were visited at two weeks intervals. Leaves, stems, root crown and roots of weeds were examined for any mealybugs. In the study, a total of 117 samples were collected from six different citrus orchards. Among these samples, five mealybug species were found on 25 weed species belonging to 14 plant families. These mealybug species were Chorizococcus rostellum (Lobdell), Peliococcus turanicus Kiritshenko, Phenacoccus solani Ferris, Phenacoccus solenopsis Tinsley and Planococcus citri (Risso). The citrus mealybug P. citri was the main harmful species in citrus.
