TORABI M., H.A. VAHEDI and C.J. HODGSON. Preliminary Survey of the Scale Insects Fauna in Kermanshah ENTOMOLOGIA HELLENICA 19 (2010): 153-162 Preliminary survey of the scale insects fauna in Kermanshah, western Iran M. TORABI1, H.A. VAHEDI1* AND C.J. HODGSON2 1Plant protection Dept., Agricultural College, Razi University, Kermanshah, Iran 2Department of Biodiversity and Biological Systematics, the National Museum of Wales, Cardiff, UK ABSTRACT The Coccoidea on cultivated and non-cultivated vegetation in Kermanshah, western Iran, were investigated between 2007 and 2009. More than 63 samples from cultivated and non-cultivated plants were collected. The identified species mainly belonged to the following families: Diaspi- didae (12 species), Coccidae (7), Pseudococcidae (4), Margarodidae (3), Eriococcidae (2) and Ortheziidae (1). The economically important species are discussed. This project is part of an MSc on Coccoidea studies which has still some time to run and so we expect that more species will be found in future.

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.

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.

  • The Biology and Ecology of Armored Scales
    Copyright 1975. All rights resenetl THE BIOLOGY AND ECOLOGY +6080 OF ARMORED SCALES 1,2 John W. Beardsley Jr. and Roberto H. Gonzalez Department of Entomology, University of Hawaii. Honolulu. Hawaii 96822 and Plant Production and Protection Division. Food and Agriculture Organization. Rome. Italy The armored scales (Family Diaspididae) constitute one of the most successful groups of plant-parasitic arthropods and include some of the most damaging and refractory pests of perennial crops and ornamentals. The Diaspididae is the largest and most specialized of the dozen or so currently recognized families which compose the superfamily Coccoidea. A recent world catalog (19) lists 338 valid genera and approximately 1700 species of armored scales. Although the diaspidids have been more intensively studied than any other group of coccids, probably no more than half of the existing forms have been recognized and named. Armored scales occur virtually everywhere perennial vascular plants are found, although a few of the most isolated oceanic islands (e.g. the Hawaiian group) apparently have no endemic representatives and are populated entirely by recent adventives. In general. the greatest numbers and diversity of genera and species occur in the tropics. subtropics. and warmer portions of the temperate zones. With the exclusion of the so-called palm scales (Phoenicococcus. Halimococcus. and their allies) which most coccid taxonomists now place elsewhere (19. 26. 99). the armored scale insects are a biologically and morphologically distinct and Access provided by CNRS-Multi-Site on 03/25/16.

Entre ellos, las abejas constituyen un eslabón esencial en la polinización de angiospermas que durante millones de años desarrollaron estrategias cada vez más específicas para atraerlas. De esta forma se establece una relación muy fuerte entre am- bos, planta-polinizador, y cuanto mayor es la especialización, tal como sucede en un gran número de especies de orquídeas y cactáceas entre otros grupos, ésta se torna más vulnerable ante cambios ambientales naturales o producidos por el hombre. De esta forma, el estudio de este tipo de interacciones resulta cada vez más importante en vista del incremento de áreas perturbadas o modificadas de manera antrópica en las cuales la fauna y flora queda expuesta a adaptarse a las nuevas condiciones o desaparecer.

  • Zootaxa, a New Species of Armored Scale (Hemiptera: Coccoidea: Diaspididae)

Abstract A new species of armored scale, Abgrallaspis aguacatae Evans, Watson, and Miller spec. nov. is described and illustrated from specimens collected on avocado fruit from Mexico. This species has caused considerable concern as a quarantine issue in the United States. A key to the armored scale species known to feed on avocado worldwide is provided. Key words: Pest, Persea americana, quarantine, taxonomy, regulatory, invasive species Introduction Avocado (Persea americana Mill., Lauraceae), known as aguacate or palta in Spanish, is a tree native to Mexico and Central America. Evidence suggests that it may have been cultivated in Mexico for as long as 10,000 years (Barry, 2001). It has been cultivated in South America since at least 900 A.D, because an avocado-shaped water jar was found in the pre-Incan city of Chan Chan in Peru (Barry, 2001).
