Aspidiotus aurantii Maskell, 1879: 199.

DISTRIBUTION IN NEW CALEDONIA.— Grande Terre (La Foa County).

HOST- PLANTS IN NEW CALEDONIA. — Polyphagous, but prefers Citrus spp. (including all species and cultivars). Also known on Cycas spp. and Musa spp. (Cohic 1956). It can be also observed on Annona spp., Passiflora spp. (Mille 2011) and Rosa spp. (Cohic 1958a).

OTHER RECORDS. — Occurs in most citrus -growing areas of the world.

BIOLOGICAL AGENTS.— Aphytis chrysomphali Mercet, 1912; A. lignanensis Compere, 1955 (Hymenoptera: Aphelinidae) and Compariella bifasciata Howard, 1906 (Hymenoptera: Encyrtidae).
