Evans USDA/ APHIS/ PPQ c/o Systematic Entomology Laboratory Bldg 005, Room 137, BARC-WEST 10300 Baltimore Ave. Beltsville, MD 20705 Abstract. A new genus and species of armored scale insect (Hemiptera: Diaspididae), Protomorgania koebelei Dooley and Evans, is described and illustrated from specimens collected by Albert Koebele on Pittosporum sp. (Pittosporaceae) in Australia around the year 1900. A key to the genera of armored scale insects similar to Pro- tomorgania and known to occur in Australia is provided. Key words. Aspidiotinae, Coccoidea, taxonomy Introduction Albert Koebele was sent by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to Australia around the year 1900 to search for natural enemies of various species of exotic scale insects (Hemiptera: Coccoidea) that had become pests in California (Boardman 1977). In the process of collecting natural enemies, he also collected many specimens of scale insects (Weathers and Lawton 1982). The senior author ex- amined Koebele’s collection of armored scales at the California Academy of Sciences Collection in San Francisco, California (CASC). Upon examination of specimens processed and slide mounted from the dried specimens in the collection, a new genus and species of armored scale insects was discovered and is here described. Material and Methods The method used for preparation of slide mounted specimens follows that used by Gill (1997), Miller and Davidson (2005), and the Systematic Entomology Laboratory (SEL), USDA (Anonymous 2006). Specimens of adult female armored scales were placed into test tubes containing 5% KOH and heated in a bubbling hot water bath for 15 minutes. They were then washed in water to remove potassium hydroxide and soaked in Essig’s aphid fluid with the addition of two drops of double stain for 10-15 minutes. The stained specimens were placed in 70% ethanol for 15 minutes and then trans- ferred into 90% ethanol for 10 minutes. Specimens were transferred to clove oil for 15 minutes prior to slide mounting in Canada balsam. Images and measurements were taken with a SMZ 1500 wide field and a Nikon Eclipse 80i compound microscope using a Nikon DS-Fi1 Digital Image camera. Measurements were taken from 4 specimens and given in micrometers (μm). Specimen Depositories.

Morphology and Terminology. A glossary for the morphological terms used to describe armored scales can be found in Miller and Davidson (2005). The following abbreviations are used: abdominal segments 1 through 8 (A1-A8); cephalon (C1); pygidial lobes–median or first lobe (L1), second lobe (L2), third lobe (L3,) and fourth lobe (L4); perispiracular pores (pps); perivulvar pores (pvp); and thoracic seg- ments–prothorax (T1), mesothorax (T2) and metathorax (T3). Key and illustrations A key to the genera of armored scales known to occur in Australia that are similar to Protomorgania n. gen. is provided. The genera in this group belong to the subfamily Aspidiotinae and are character- ized by having a broad body with a constriction or incision between the prothorax and mesothorax. The metathorax and abdomen are usually broader than the region from the anterior margin of the body to the mesothorax. In addition, most of the species in this group lack perivulvar pores and unlike most of the species in other aspidiotine genera which lack perispiracular pores,

A key is provided for the all described species of Octaspidiotus. Keywords Taxonomy, Sternorrhyncha, armored scale insect, China Introduction Scale insects (Hemiptera: Coccoidea) are sap-sucking parasites which are small (gener- ally less than 5 mm) and cryptic in their habitats (Gullan 1997), with at least 30 fami- lies and approximately 8000 species (García et al. 2016). Containing more than 2500 described species, Diaspididae is the largest species-rich family in the Coccoidea (García et al. 2016). Adult diaspidid females are sessile and permanently reside on their host plants (Gullan 1997). Adult females have the complete loss of the legs, the reduction of the antennae to a single segment and the modification of the abdomen into a special- ized pygidium for forming the test, and these characteristics are the primary recognition features for these insects (Andersen 2010; Balachowsky 1948).

Further forms for the Rugaspidiotini­ Problem (Homoptera: Coccoidea: Diaspididae). Ins. matsum. n. s. 53: 81-116, 26 figs. Four rugaspidiotine-patterned genera are dealt with in 4 parts. Part 1. Adiscodiaspis tamar­ icicola Malenotti, Prodiaspis tamaricicola Young and Circodiaspis sinensis Tang, all associated with tamarisks, belong to the same genus Prodiaspis Young [= Circodiaspis Tang, new synonymy], and are rearranged to Prodiaspis sinensis [= P. tamaricicola Young = C. sinensis, new synonymy] and Prodiaspis tamaricicola (Malenotti) [transferred from A discodiaspis , new combination]. The 1st instar larvae of these 2 species are remarkably different in the occurrence of ducts, but otherwise closely similar to each other, and appear to be related to the Diaspidini but not definitely. Their female tests show no regular running pattern of wax filaments, suggesting that the females make no regular movements in forming the test. - Part II. Mangaspis bangalorensis Takagi and Kondo, gen.

ZooKeys 779: 147–155. https://doi.org/10.3897/zookeys.779.27437 Abstract A new species of armoured scale insect, Parlatoria menglaensis sp. n. is described and illustrated, which infests leaves of Cinnamomum camphora in China. A key to the Parlatoria species occurring in China is provided. Keywords China, Diaspididae, Hemiptera, new species, Parlatoria Introduction Armoured scale insects (Hemiptera: Coccomorpha: Diaspididae) are ubiquitous sap- sucking parasites that have a worldwide distribution (Andersen 2009). Compared with other family groups of Coccoidea, the armoured scale insects have several unique char- acteristics. For example, they have a cecum, which has no direct connection between the stomach and the anal opening, so they do not produce sweet secretions called honeydew (Henderson 2011). Females of the armoured scale insects are immobile and firmly attached to plant leaves, stems, fruits, or roots (Chou 1982).
