Malumphy* & A. Kahrer** Zusammenfassung Sammeldaten von 30 im März 2008 in Wiener Parks und Palmenhäusern gesammelten Schild- und Wolllausarten (Hemiptera: Coccoidea) werden aufgelistet. Dreizehn dieser Arten (43 %) sind tropischen Ursprungs. Die San José Schildlaus (Diaspidiotus perniciosus (COMSTOCK)), die rote Austernschildlaus (Epidiaspis leperii (SIGNORET)) und die Maulbeerschildlaus (Pseudaulacaspis pentagona (TARGIONI- TOZZETTI)) (alle Diaspididae) rufen schwere Schäden an ihren Wirtspflanzen – im Freiland kultivierten Zierpflanzen hervor. Die ebenfalls nicht einheimische, invasive Art Pulvinaria floccifera (WESTWOOD) (Coccidae) wird für Österreich zum ersten Mal gemeldet. Summary Collection data are provided for 30 species of scale insects (Hemiptera: Coccoidea) found in Vienna during March 2008. Thirteen (43 %) of these species are of exotic origin. Diaspidiotus perniciosus (COMSTOCK), Epidiaspis leperii (Signoret) and Pseudaulacaspis pentagona (TARGIONI-TOZZETTI) (Diaspididae) were found causing serious damage to ornamental plants growing outdoors. The non-native, invasive Pulvinaria floccifera (WESTWOOD) (Coccidae) is recorded from Austria for the first time. Keywords: Non-native introductions, invasive species, Diaspidiotus perniciosus, Epidiaspis leperii, Pseudaulacaspis pentagona, Pulvinaria floccifera. Introduction The scale insect (Hemiptera: Coccoidea) fauna of Austria has been inadequately studied. -

The neococcoids form a mono- phyletic group supported by both morphological and genetic data. In contrast, the monophyly of the archaeococcoids is uncertain and the higher level ranks within it have been controversial, particularly since the late Professor Jan Koteja introduced his multi-family classification for scale insects in 1974. Recent phylogenetic studies using molecular and morphological data support the recognition of up to 15 extant families of archaeococcoids, including 11 families for the former Margarodidae sensu lato, vindicating Koteja’s views. Archaeococcoids are represented better in the fossil record than neococcoids, and have an adequate record through the Tertiary and Cretaceous but almost no putative coccoid fos- sils are known from earlier. -

GULLAN1,3 & DOUGLAS J. WILLIAMS2 1Division of Evolution, Ecology & Genetics, Research School of Biology, The Australian National University, Acton, Canberra, A.C.T. 2601, Australia 2The Natural History Museum, Department of Life Sciences (Entomology), London SW7 5BD, UK 3Corresponding author. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract A new scale insect, Aolacoccus angophorae gen. nov. and sp. nov. (Eriococcidae), is described from the bark of Ango- phora (Myrtaceae) growing in the Sydney area of New South Wales, Australia. These insects do not produce honeydew, are not ant-tended and probably feed on cortical parenchyma. The adult female is pupillarial as it is retained within the cuticle of the penultimate (second) instar. The crawlers (mobile first-instar nymphs) emerge via a flap or operculum at the posterior end of the abdomen of the second-instar exuviae. The adult and second-instar females, second-instar male and first-instar nymph, as well as salient features of the apterous adult male, are described and illustrated. The adult female of this new taxon has some morphological similarities to females of the non-pupillarial palm scale Phoenicococcus marlatti Cockerell (Phoenicococcidae), the pupillarial palm scales (Halimococcidae) and some pupillarial genera of armoured scales (Diaspididae), but is related to other Australian Myrtaceae-feeding eriococcids. -
Chronology of Gloomy Scale (Hemiptera: Diaspididae) Infestations on Urban Trees

Backe1, and Steven D. Frank Downloaded from https://academic.oup.com/ee/article-abstract/48/5/1113/5555505 by D Hill Library - Acquis S user on 13 November 2019 Department of Entomology and Plant Pathology, North Carolina State University, 100 Derieux Place, Raleigh, NC, 27695 and 1Corresponding author, e-mail: [email protected] Subject Editor: Darrell Ross Received 15 April 2019; Editorial decision 17 July 2019 Abstract Pest abundance on urban trees often increases with surrounding impervious surface. Gloomy scale (Melanaspis tenebricosa Comstock; Hemiptera: Diaspididae), a pest of red maples (Acer rubrum L.; Sapindales: Sapindaceae) in the southeast United States, reaches injurious levels in cities and reduces tree condition. Here, we use a chronosequence field study in Raleigh, NC, to investigate patterns in gloomy scale densities over time from the nursery to 13 yr after tree planting, with a goal of informing more efficient management of gloomy scale on urban trees. We examine how impervious surfaces affect the progression of infestations and how infestations affect tree condition. We find that gloomy scale densities remain low on trees until at least seven seasons after tree planting, providing a key timepoint for starting scouting efforts. Scouting should focus on tree branches, not tree trunks. Scale density on tree branches increases with impervious surface across the entire studied tree age range and increases faster on individual trees that are planted in areas with high impervious surface cover. -

Biocontrol Efficacy of Entomopathogenic Fungi Against San Jose Scale Quadraspidiotus Perniciosus (Comstock) (Hemiptera: Diaspididae) in Field Trials

G. Department of Zoology, University of Kashmir, Hazratbal, Srinagar - 190006, Jammu and Kashmir, India *Corresponding author E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT: San Jose scale Quadraspidiotus perniciosus is a key pest of apple crop in the northern states of India. The efficacy of entomopathogenic fungi - Beauveria bassiana, Metarhizium anisopliae sensu lato and Lecanicillium lecanii against San Jose scale was examined in three apple orchards, each located at Srinagar, Bandipora and Pulwama districts in Kashmir. The relative pathogenicity of these fungi against the pest was also evaluated during field trials. Mortality was monitored at 2-day intervals until 30 days after application. All three fungal pathogens caused mortality of the pest particularly with the increase in treatment concentration. High mortality (76-77%) was determined with B. bassiana at 15 × 105 conidia/ml. formulation followed by L. lecanii at the same formulation (mortality 73-75%) at all the experimental sites tested. M. anisopliae sensu lato was significantly less effective (mortality 47-67%) in all the three field trials. The results demonstrate the suitability of entomopathogenic fungi for controlling San Jose scale. KEY WORDS: Biological -
