To the present data, 22 species from 20 genera of Ortheziidae, Pseudococcidae, Margarodidae, Steingeliidae, Eriococcidae, Cryptococcidae, Kermesidae, Asterolecaniidae, Coccidae and Diaspididae are found in the natural habitats. Most of them are pests of fruit- and berry- producing cultures or ornamental plants. Another 15 species from 12 genera of Ortheziidae, Pseudococcidae, Rhizoecidae, Coccidae and Diaspididae are registered indoors only. All of them are pests of ornamental plants. Comparison between fauna lists of neighboring countries allows us to estimate the current species richness of native Coccoidea fauna of Belarus in 60–65 species. Scale insects of the Belarusian fauna have not been DNA-barcoding objects till this research. International genetic on-line databases store marker sequences of species collected mostly in Chile, China, and Australia. The study was partially supported by the Belarusian Republican Foundation for Fundamental Research (project B17MC-025). Key words: Biodiversity, scale insects, DNA-barcoding, fauna.

The immature stages are described based on microscopic features and a key to the stages is provided for their separation. This species description is actuated by the necessity to distinguish the new species from the root mealybug Ripersiella hibisci (Kawai & Takagi), which is occasionally imported and shares host plants with the new species. An identification key to adults of the Dutch greenhouse species and species intercepted during import inspections based on microscopic morphological characters is given. A key to distinguish the nymphal stages is provided and keys are given to the identification of first, second and third instar nymphs of Ripersiella multiporifera Jansen, R. hibisci (Kawai & Takagi) and R. emarai Jansen.

  • First Incursion of the Asian Root Mealybug Ripersiella Planetica in Europe (Hemiptera, Coccoidea, Rhizoecidae)
    Correspondence BULL. ENT. SOC. MALTA (2012) Vol. 5 : 171-173 First incursion of the Asian root mealybug Ripersiella planetica in Europe (Hemiptera, Coccoidea, Rhizoecidae) Chris MALUMPHY1 The Rhizoecidae is a family of the Coccoidea (HODGSON, 2012) containing 233 species worldwide that are hypogaeic and parasitic on plant roots, hence their common name ‘root mealybugs’ (KOZÁR & KONCZNÉ BENEDICTY, 2007). Several species are economically important plant pests and Ripersiella hibisci (Kawai & Takagi, 1971) is a regulated quarantine pest in the European Union (MALUMPHY & ROBINSON, 2004). The Asian root mealybug Ripersiella planetica (Williams, 2004) has been found recently in Malta. This is the first incursion (an isolated population of a pest recently detected in an area, not known to be established, but expected to survive for the immediate future - FAO, 2010) of R. planetica in Europe, and is the first species of Rhizoecidae recorded from Malta. It has been intercepted previously at Aalsmeer in the Netherlands during a quarantine inspection, on the roots of Livistona sp. (Arecaceae) imported from Sri Lanka (Maurice Jansen, personal communication, 2012). Ripersiella planetica was described from specimens collected from roots of Cactaceae from Pahang, Cameron Highlands, Malaysia (intercepted in quarantine at Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia), 5.ix.1998 (WILLIAMS, 2004). It has since been recorded from China and Korea (KOZÁR & KONCZNÉ BENEDICTY, 2007). Its specific name is appropriately based on the Greek word ‘planetikos’, meaning ‘disposed to wander’. Ripersiella planetica (Williams, 2004) Synonym: Rhizoecus planeticus Williams, 2004 (Fig. 1) 1 2 Figure 1: Ripersiella planetica, slide-mounted adult female; Figure 2: Rhizoecus albidus, adult female. 1 The Food and Environment Research Agency, Sand Hutton, York, YO41 1LZ, UK.

  • Biology and Management of the Invasive Mealybug Phenacoccus Peruvianus (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae) in Urban Landscapes
    UNIVERSITAT POLITÈCNICA DE VALÈNCIA Biology and management of the invasive mealybug Phenacoccus peruvianus (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae) in urban landscapes. DOCTORAL THESIS Presented by: Aleixandre Beltrà Ivars Directed by: Dr. Antonia Soto Sánchez and Dr. Ferran Garcia Marí València, February, 2014 Als meus pares Agraïments Sense la contribució directa i indirecta de moltes persones aquesta tesi mai s’haguera portat a terme i és per a elles el meu més sincer reconeixement. 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.
