First Record of the Scale Insect Asterodiaspis Ilicicola in Greece and Additional Data About the Scale Gonaspidiotus Minimus on Quercus Ilex Hellenic Plant Protection Journal 6: 55-57, 2013 SHORT COMMUNICATION First record of the scale insect Asterodiaspis ilicicola in Greece and additional data about the scale Gonaspidiotus minimus on Quercus ilex G.J. Stathas, E.D. Kartsonas and P.J. Skouras Summary The scale insect Asterodiaspis ilicicola (Targioni Tozzetti) (Hemiptera, Coccoidea, Asterole- caniidae) was recorded for the fi rst time in Greece in February 2013. It was found on Quercus ilex, in the National Garden of Athens. On the same infested trees, the scale insect Gonaspidiotus minimus (Leonar- di) (Hemiptera, Coccoidea, Diaspididae) was also recorded. Both scale species were settled on the up- per surface of leaves of Q. ilex. According to ScaleNet Database (Ben-Dov et al., 2013) the scale insects species of the family Asterolecaniidae recorded in Greece include Asterodiaspis bella (Russell) (Russell, 1941; Borchsenius, 1960), A. repugnans (Rus- sell) (Russell, 1941; Borchsenius, 1960), A. va- riolosa (Ratzeburg) (Milonas et al., 2008) and Pollinia pollini (Costa) (Alexandrakis, 1980). Asterodiaspis ilicicola (Targioni Tozzetti) (Hemiptera, Coccoidea, Asterolecaniidae) was recorded for the fi rst time in Greece on Figure 1.

On the same trees, the scale insect Gonaspidiotus mini- mus (Leonardi) (Hemiptera, Coccoidea, Dias- pididae) was also recorded. The colonies of both scale species were settled on the up- per surface of leaves of Q. ilex (Fig. 1 and Fig. 2).

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.

Al-Saffar and Razzaq Shalan Augul Iraq Natural History Research Center & Museum, University of Baghdad, Baghdad, Iraq. E-mails : [email protected], [email protected] Abstract This study designed at identifying insect pests that attack some trees and shrubs grown in the orchards in different regions, middle of Iraq. The investigation included date palm, citrus, pomegranate trees and grape shrubs. During the survey, 10 species were recorded on date palms (the most infested was Ommatissus lybicus de Bergevin, 1930, followed by Oryctes elegans Prell, 1914), four species on citrus (the most infested was Aonidiella orientalis (Newstead, 1894) followed by whitefly Trialeurodes vaporariorum (Westwood, 1856), one species only on pomegranate ( Aphis punicae Passerini, 1863), and one species Arboridia hussaini (Ghauri, 1963) on Grapes. Given the importance of date palm trees in Iraq, the most important insect pests present and recorded in previous studies have been summarized. Also, the synonyms of the species and their geographical distribution are provided. Keywords : Iraq, Orchards, Pests, Shrubs, Survey, Trees.

  • Insect Classification Standards 2020
    RECOMMENDED INSECT CLASSIFICATION FOR UGA ENTOMOLOGY CLASSES (2020) In an effort to standardize the hexapod classification systems being taught to our students by our faculty in multiple courses across three UGA campuses, I recommend that the Entomology Department adopts the basic system presented in the following textbook: Triplehorn, C.A. and N.F. Johnson. 2005. Borror and DeLong’s Introduction to the Study of Insects. 7th ed. Thomson Brooks/Cole, Belmont CA, 864 pp. This book was chosen for a variety of reasons. It is widely used in the U.S. as the textbook for Insect Taxonomy classes, including our class at UGA. It focuses on North American taxa. The authors were cautious, presenting changes only after they have been widely accepted by the taxonomic community. Below is an annotated summary of the T&J (2005) classification. Some of the more familiar taxa above the ordinal level are given in caps. Some of the more important and familiar suborders and families are indented and listed beneath each order. Note that this is neither an exhaustive nor representative list of suborders and families. It was provided simply to clarify which taxa are impacted by some of more important classification changes. Please consult T&J (2005) for information about taxa that are not listed below. Unfortunately, T&J (2005) is now badly outdated with respect to some significant classification changes. Therefore, in the classification standard provided below, some well corroborated and broadly accepted updates have been made to their classification scheme. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions about this classification.
