New Records of Mealybug Species in Iran with Discussions on Morphological Variations (Hemiptera, Coccoidea: Pseudococcidae) © Entomologica Fennica. 6 October 2015 New records of mealybug species in Iran with discussions on morphological variations (Hemiptera, Coccoidea: Pseudococcidae) Masumeh Moghaddam Moghaddam, M. 2015: New records of mealybug species in Iran with discus- sions on morphological variations (Hemiptera, Coccoidea: Pseudococcidae). — Entomol. Fennica 26: 122–131. The mealybug Vryburgia succulentarum Williams is recorded for the first time from the Palaearctic area (in a greenhouse). In addition, four other species, Arte- misia bispinus (Borchsenius), Coccura circumscripta (Kiritchenko), Miro- coccus inermis (Hall) and Phenacoccus daganiae (Bodenheimer) are recorded for the first time from Iran. Artemisia bispinus, C. circumscripta and P.daganiae have been reported only from the Palaearctic Region. The third-instar female of M. inermis is described based on specimens collected in Iran. Some characters of A. bispinus, C. circumscripta and M. inermis differ from those in the specimens found elsewhere and are discussed. Illustrations, localities and host plants of the above species are provided. M. Moghaddam, Insect Taxonomy Research Department, Iranian Research In- stitute of Plant Protection, P.O.

ZooKeys 565: 1–28. doi: 10.3897/zookeys.565.6877 Abstract In the last decades, several expeditions were organized in Europe by the researchers of the Hungarian Natural History Museum to collect snails, aquatic insects and soil animals (mites, springtails, nematodes, and earthworms). In this study, scale insect (Hemiptera: Coccomorpha) specimens extracted from Hun- garian Natural History Museum soil samples (2970 samples in total), all of which were collected using soil and litter sampling devices, and extracted by Berlese funnel, were examined. From these samples, 43 scale insect species (Acanthococcidae 4, Coccidae 2, Micrococcidae 1, Ortheziidae 7, Pseudococcidae 21, Putoidae 1 and Rhizoecidae 7) were found in 16 European countries.

According to the latest data, the scale insect fauna of the whole Greek territory includes 207 species; of which 187 species are recorded from mainland Greece and the minor islands, whereas only 87 species are known from Crete. The most rich families are the Diaspididae (with 86 species), followed by Coccidae (with 35 species) and Pseudococcidae (with 34 species). In this study the results of a zoogeographic analysis of scale insect fauna from mainland Greece and Crete are also presented. Five species, four from mainland Greece and one from Crete are considered to be endemic.

  • A Review of the Phylogeny of Palaearctic Mealybugs (Hemiptera: Coccomorpha: Pseudococcidae)

Published online at www.senckenberg.de/arthropod-systematics on 17.iv.2015. Abstract The mealybugs form the second largest family group within the scale insects (Hemiptera: Coccomorpha), with about 2,300 species in almost 300 genera, and is currently considered to include two families, Pseudococcidae and Rhizoecidae. D.A. Downie & P.J. Gullan undertook the first molecular phylogenetic study of the group, and recognised three major clades which more or less equated to the Pseudococcinae, Phenacoccinae and Rhizoecinae. More recently, N.B Hardy and co-workers did a similar large study with more taxa, and included a morphological data matrix based on the adult female, adult males and first-instar nymphs; their results were broadly similar to those of Downie & Gullan except they found that the Rhizoecinae were included within the Phenacoccinae. Since this latter study, the Rhizoecinae has been recognized as a separate family, Rhizoecidae, and is used as an outgroup in this study.

Based on the literature and contemporary collections, a total of 93 species of scale insects belonging to 12 scale insect families are here reported (Aclerdidae 1 species; Asterolecaniidae 4; Coccidae 17; Diaspididae 46; Eriococcidae 5; Kermesidae 1; Margarodidae 1; Micrococcidae 1; Monophlebidae 2; Pseudoccocidae 11; Putoidae 2 and Rhizoecidae 2). Of these, 17 species represent new distribution records. Ten species are excluded from the scale insect fauna of the Maltese Islands. Of the 93 species present, only 29 (31.18%) are probably indigenous and the rest (68.82%) represent established introductions from else- where. More than 65% of the indigenous species are typical Mediterranean in distribution, with a few species having a mainly European chorotype.

Especialment, vull agrair a tots els que han conseguit que gaudira de l’elaboració de la tesi ja que amb ells tinc un deute impagable. En primer lloc a la professora Antonia Soto qui m’ha donat l’oportunitat de realitzar la tesi, oferint la seua guia i ensenyança durant tot aquest procés. Per la paciència i confiança depositada permetent-me aprendre dels errors comesos. Sempre recordaré amb molta estima, la il·lusió trasmessa en aquelles primeres lliçons d’entomologia al Jardí Botànic. A Alejandro Tena per aconseguir motivar-me dia rere dia contagiant involuntàriament la seua passió per l’entomologia. Per la seua original contribució en els experiments que ací s’adjunten. Les seues ensenyances han produït un increment significatiu en la capacitat científica de l’estudiant de doctorat (P < 0.0001). A Thibaut Malausa, per la seua confiança al rebrem en Sophia Antipolis i en la resta de col·laboracions posteriors. Per mostrar-me el món de la genètica. Per la seua amistat i per tindrem present per a la futura revisió de la família de còccids més desconeguda. Als professors Ferran, Paco i Rafa als quals considere un exemple a seguir, per tot l’aprés i per tindre sempre la porta oberta.
