A facultative association between Plebeia droryana (Friese, 1900) (Hymenoptera: Apidae: Meliponini) and a wax scale insect, Ceroplastes janeirensis (Hemiptera: Coccoidea: Coccidae).
Ants and bees (Hymenoptera) are frequently associated with scale insects (Hemiptera: Coccoidea) and other Sternorrhyncha in a mutualistic relationship. Associations with ants are best known, and they tend to clean, protect and even transport these insects in exchange for honeydew (Way, 1963). Studies between coccoids and bees are less common, although in some regions of Europe the associations ...
متن کاملA new genus and species of Chamaemyiidae (Diptera: Lauxanioidea) from South America feeding on Ceroplastes wax scales (Hemiptera: Coccidae), and status of the genus Ortalidina as a chamaemyiid
A new genus and species of Chamaemyiidae (Diptera: Lauxanioidea) is described and illustrated, namely Chamaeleucopis, gen. nov. (type species Chamaeleucopis trevas, sp. nov.), a predator of Ceroplastes wax scales on guava from Brazil. In addition, the previously unrecognized genus Ortalidina Blanchard 1852 (type species Ortalidina cellularis Blanchard 1852), mainly from the Neotropics, is recog...
متن کاملA new genus and two new species of soft scale insect (Sternorrhyncha, Coccoidea, Coccidae) from Africa
A new soft scale insect genus, Sterculicoccus Hodgson, gen. n., is introduced to take a new species, Sterculicoccus tafoensis Hodgson, sp. n., off Triplochiton from Ghana. 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 کاملCloning and Expression Analysis of Four Heat Shock Protein Genes in Ericerus pela (Homoptera: Coccidae)
To explore the function of small heat shock protein genes (shsps) and hsp70 in Ericerus pela, we cloned the full-length cDNA sequences of hsp21.5, hsp21.7, hsp70, and hsc70 and the genomic sequence of hsc70. Open reading frames of the four hsps were 570, 564, 1,908, and 1,962 base pairs (bp), respectively, which encode proteins with calculated molecular mass of 21.5, 21.7, 69.8, and 71.6 kDa. A...
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...
