Pseudococcidae

Description

Pseudococcidae

Exallomochlus hispidus (Morrison)

146-4 Krakatau Is, Rakata, W Rudge, 100m, 6°09'S 105°25'E, on Ficus Montana, 1.ix.1984.

Planococcus citri (Risso) (Pseudococcus)

Listed by Dammerman (1948: 474) on Macaranga tanarius.

Planococcus lilacinus (Cockerell)

146-2 Krakatau Is, Rakata, W. Ridge, 100m, 6°09'S 105°15'E, GF, on Ficus montana, 1.ix.1984.

Pseudococcus? viburni (Signoret)

Green (1913) recorded a single specimen of Pseudococcus maritimus (Ehrhorn) from Krakatau, collected on the sea shore. This mealybug is New World in origin and most records elsewhere have proved to be based on misidentifications. We believe that the species could have been Pseudococcus viburni, often misidentified as P. maritimus in the past.

Pseudococcus sp.

Listed by Dammerman (1948: 474) on Ipomoea pescaprae [Convolvulaceae].
