Description of a new soft scale insect of the genus Pulvinaria Targioni Tozzetti (Hemiptera, Coccoidea, Coccidae) from Bogota, Colombia
A new soft scale (Hemiptera: Coccoidea: Coccidae) species, Pulvinariacaballeroramosae Tanaka & Kondo, sp. n., is described from specimens collected on twigs of Ficussoatensis Dugand (Moraceae) in Bogota, Colombia. The new species resembles Pulvinariadrymiswinteri Kondo & Gullan, described from Chile on Drimyswinteri J.R. Forst. & G. Forst. (Winteraceae), but differs in the distribution of preop...

Sterculicoccus belongs to the Myzolecaniinae and is close to Alecanium Morrison. In addition, a new species of Hemilecanium Newstead, H. cedrelus Hodgson, sp. n., is also described off Cedrela toona from Zambia. Hemilecanium ...
متن کاملFirst Record of Pulvinaria urbicola (Hemiptera: Coccidae), a Potentially Damaging Scale Insect, on Christmas Island, Indian Ocean
Pulvinaria urbicola, a pulvinariine soft scale was recorded for the first time on Christmas Island (Indian Ocean) in June 2011. A broad host plant generalist, Pu. urbicola excretes honeydew and is commonly tended by ants, including invasive Anoplolepis gracilipes and Pheidole megacephala. Pu. urbicola is implicated in dieback of forest dominated by Pisonia grandis (Nyctaginaceae) on many Indo-p...
متن کاملUrban Warming Drives Insect Pest Abundance on Street Trees
Cities profoundly alter biological communities, favoring some species over others, though the mechanisms that govern these changes are largely unknown. Herbivorous arthropod pests are often more abundant in urban than in rural areas, and urban outbreaks have been attributed to reduced control by predators and parasitoids and to increased susceptibility of stressed urban plants. These hypotheses...
متن کاملInsect Growth Regulators for Insect Pest Control*
Insecticides with growth regulating properties (IGR) may adversely affect insects by regulating or inhibiting specific biochemical pathways or processes essential for insect growth and development. Some insects exposed to such compounds may die due to abnormal regulation of hormone-mediated cell or organ development. Other insects may die either from a prolonged exposure at the developmental st...
