DEDICATION This catalogue is dedicated to Louise M. Russell (Systematic Entomology Laboratory, Agricultural Research Service, US Department of Agriculture, Beltsville, Maryland 20705 USA) on the occasion of her 100th birthday in May 2005. Louise Russell’s monographic revision (1941) of 156 species of the genus Asterolecanium stands until today as the major systematic revision in the family Asterolecaniidae. About one-third (83 species) of the 229 valid species in the family were described in 1941 by Louise Russell.

PREFACE

This volume is the fifth in a series of catalogues that resulted from the ScaleNet project (Ben-Dov et al., 2004). Previous catalogues covered the Eriococcidae (Miller & Gimpel, 2000), the Diaspididae (subfamilies Aspidiotinae, Comstockiellinae and Odonaspidinae) (Ben-Dov & German, 2003), the eight families (Cerococcidae, Halimococcidae, Kermesidae, Micrococcidae, Ortheziidae, Phenacoleachiidae, Phoenicococcidae and Stictococcidae (Miller, Gimpel & Rung, 2005) and the Margarodidae (Ben-Dov, 2005). The ScaleNet project was initiated in 1995 by Yair Ben-Dov (Bet Dagan, Israel) and Dug Miller (Beltsville, Maryland, USA), aimed to catalogue the scale insects (Hemiptera: Coccoidea) of the world. The project was designed around three components: (1) development of a database for each of the 26 scale-insect families; (2) making this information available on a queriable web site on the Internet and (3) publishing hard-copy catalogues for each of the families. The foundation for the ScaleNet initiative was the development of a computerized database by Yair Ben-Dov, for the soft scales (Coccidae), and the mealybugs (Pseudococcidae), which subsequently were published as the Coccidae Catalogue (Ben-Dov, 1993) and the Pseudococcidae Catalogue (Ben-Dov. 1994). The inception of this project was motivated by the above-mentioned data, along with the bibliographic information on the Coccoidea that had been published to cover the scale insect from 1758 to l985 (Morrison & Renk, 1957; Morrison & Morrison, 1965; Russell et al., 1974; Kosztarab & Kosztarab, 1988) and a bibliographic database that is kept up-to-date by the Systematic Entomology Laboratory, USDA and the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in Blacksburg, Virginia. This project was realized through the financial support from two grants from United States–Israel Binational Agricultural Research and Development Fund (BARD) (Grant Numbers IS-2423-94 and IS-2605-95) which empowered us to carry out this important project. A database system was chosen that was developed by Gary Gibson, Biological Resources Program, Eastern Cereal and Oilseed Research Centre, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada and later enhanced by Gary Gibson and Jennifer Read. The database program called BASIS is an elegant, user-friendly system that has a series of tools that greatly facilitate the data-entry process. At its inception, the primary purpose of the database system was to produce hard-copy catalogues. This publication is one of the subsequent outcomes. Later, it was slightly modified so that it could be used as an interface with the Internet. From 1995 to 2000, the web site named ScaleNet, placed at the following URL http://www.sel.barc.usda.gov/scalenet/scalenet.htm, was implemented through a contract with Richard Carson & Associates, Advanced Research Division. Reston, Virginia, USA. A team of Jane Lemmer, Robert Todd and Arek Grantham developed series of programs to interface with data from the BASIS database. The ScaleNet site allows users to obtain information through a series of personalized requests.

INTRODUCTION This catalogue deals with eight families of scale insects of the world, which comprise a third of the 26 families, currently recognized in the Coccoidea. The families of this volume are: Aclerdidae (grass scales) – 57 species in five genera; Asterolecaniidae (pit scales) – 229 species in 21 genera; Beesoniidae – 15 species in six genera; Carayonemidae (water scales) – four species in four genera; Conchaspididae (false armoured scales) – 29 species in four genera; Dactylopiidae (cochineal scales) – 10 species in one genus; Kerriidae (lac insects) – 97 species in nine genera and Lecanodiaspididae (false pit scales) – 82 species in 12 genera. The information presented is a synthesis and catalogue of publications on all the genera, species and subspecies in these families worldwide from 1758 to December 2004. A few publications issued in 2005 are also included. Data are provided on their correct scientific name, taxonomy, common names, synonyms, host plants, distribution, natural enemies, biology, economic importance and publications.

STATISTICS Table 1 summarizes the data on number of species and subspecies and the number of genera and subgenera, which have been described until 2004 in the 21 families of extant Coccoidea. The data is based on the numbers given in this catalogue, and on the Tables published in the catalogues by Miller & Gimpel (2000), Ben-Dov & German (2003), Ben-Dov (2005) and by Miller, Gimpel & Rung (2005). The data for the family Diaspididae is based on Ben-Dov & German (2003) and on the due-to-be-published catalogue by Douglass R. Miller et al. on the subfamilies Diaspidinae and Leucaspidinae of the Diaspididae. These data, which covers almost the entire number of species and genera in the superfamily, show that about half of the coccoid genera are monotypic. The families, Asterolecaniidae, Cerococcidae and Ortheziidae are exceptional, as only a third or less of their genera are monotypic. In the whole Coccoidea, about 15% of genera include more than 10 species is 15%. However, in some families the rate is higher, notably the Asterolecaniidae (28.5%), Cerococcidae (33%), Conchaspididae (25%) and 35% in the Ortheziidae.

CATALOGUE FORMAT The structure of the BASIS database system used in Scale Net, as well as the format of the catalogues is described in this section. Cut-off date The cut-off date of literature survey for the catalogues in this volume was December 2004. A few publications issued in 2005 were also included. Languages When it was necessary to translate relevant portions from publications in languages other than English, my colleagues who assisted in the translation, are acknowledged in the Acknowledgements section. Transferred taxa The species that were included in any of the subfamilies of this family at one time, but have been transferred to another family, are listed at the end of the Catalogue of Genera and Species. Citation codes Each catalogue includes four sections, namely Host Plants, Distribution, Keys and Citations, in which citation codes are used. These codes are unique combinations of letters and digits that identify a specific publication. In its simplest form, it is composed of the first six letters of the last name of the author (fewer if the author’s last name contains less than six letters) and the four digits of the year of publication. For example, the reference code for Miller 1993 is Miller1993. No hyphens, diacritic marks, or spaces between multiple word names of authors are included. For example, the publication by De Lotto 1965, is coded DeLott1965. If the author published more than one paper in a year, ascending letters in lower case is placed after the date of the second, third, etc. publications. The first publication of an author in a certain year has no letter. For example, if Hall published two papers in 1925, they are coded Hall1925 and Hall1925a. For a multiauthored publication, the code is composed of up to six letters of the first author’s last name, and the first two letters of the last name of the next two authors. For example, the publication by Berry, J.A., Morales, C.F., Hill, M.G., Lofroth, B.J. & Allan, D.J. 1989, would be coded BerryMoHi1989. If these authors published two papers in 1989, the second paper has a citation code BerryMoHi1989a. lf there are two different authors with the same last name who published in the same year, the same process listed above is used but it is necessary to also place their first initials after the date in upper case. For example, in 1977 D.J. Williams, J.R. Williams and M.L. Williams each published at least one paper; the codes are Willia1977DJ. Willial977JR and Willial977ML. Occasionally, the process of truncating author’s names to form a code produces identical codes. For example, the papers by Kosztarab & Kosztarab (1988) and Kosztarab & Kozár (1988) end up with the same codes (KosztaKol988). This problem is solved by adding the first initials of one of the authors in capital letters after the date, e.g. KosztaKol988F and KosztaKol988MP. Finally, papers by societies are given special codes with all capital letters and are placed as the first reference for a letter in the references cited section. lf there is still uncertainty about a particular citation code, it is easy to find the appropriate reference since the citation code is given at the end of each reference in the “References” section. CATALOGUE OF GENERA AND SPECIES All the taxa (genera, species and subspecies) of each family are alphabetically listed in each Catalogue and in the Indices in their currently accepted subfamily status.

CATALOGUE FORMAT

SPECIES CATALOGUE Species and Subspecies Header. Each species or subspecies entry is headed by the currently accepted valid name, with the author’s name in parentheses if that species was first described in a genus other than the currently accepted generic placement. The next section does not have a heading, and it provides the nomenclatural history of the species or subspecies. It lists all available and unavailable names (according to the rules of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature) that have been used in the literature for the species or subspecies, including junior synonyms, changes of combination, misidentifications, nomina nuda, misspellings and others. Records are listed chronologically, with the originally cited genus–species combination given along with the author, year (letter) and page number in the publication. The following information is given for each cited-name record that has type data: type locality and host: type category (e.g. holotype, syntypes, lectotype): method of type designation (e.g. original or subsequent) and, if by subsequent designation, the name of the author of the subsequent designation and the reference, type sex/stage (e.g. female, nymph) and museum where the type is deposited. The following information may be given for any cited-name record, the author of synonymy or discoverer of taxonomic or nomenclatural “errors” such as nomina nuda, homonyms and misidentifications; and notes relating to the specific record. A complete list of references is given in the “Citations” section. Common Names. This section gives all the common names, which have been proposed or used in publications, of the species, together with at least one of the sources of the common name as a citation code. Common Names, in alphabetical order, are included in all languages that use Latin letters, as well as trans-latinized common names used in non-Latin languages. Systematics. This section is present for some of the species. It provides brief notes on the taxonomy and nomenclature of the taxon. Structure. This section includes information on the external appearance of the scale insect, as described in the original description and, if available, as described by later authors, together with the reference to this information. The descriptions taken from publications in English are cited with only minor modifications of the text. Descriptions from publications in other languages were translated by our colleagues who are acknowledged in the Acknowledgements Section. Reference is given to illustrations of photos of external appearance. Host Plants are listed alphabetically by plant family and within the family alphabetically by genus, species and subspecies. A question mark preceding any host record indicates that it is a questionable record. Each host record has at least one literature reference in the form of a citation code as a validation source. We have not attempted to update or verify host names but have used the names given in the literature. For host family names, we have followed the system of Willis (1988). We also found valuable sources of information in several internet sites, such as: Germplasm Resources Information Network, Agricultural Research Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture (http://www.ars-grin.gov/npgs/tax/taxgenfrom.html); Natural Resources Conservation Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture (http://plants.usda.gov/plants/fr_enter.cgi?earl=fr_qurymenu), Missouri Botanical Garden (http://mobot.inobot.org/pick/search/pick.html); Kew Gardens, England (http://www.rbgkew.org.uk/web.dbs/webdbsintro.html). Natural Enemies. This section provides names of natural enemies (arthropods and fungi) that were mentioned in the scale-insect literature, followed by Citations Codes. I am not an expert in these topics, but I hope that the list is as up-to-date as possible for the diversity of natural enemies, their currently accepted names and synonyms. Distribution. Records are given alphabetically by biogeographic realm (Afrotropical, Antarctic, Australasian, Nearctic, Neotropical, Oriental and Palaearctic) and within each realm

CATALOGUE FORMAT

xvii

alphabetically by country and regional unit (state or province). A question mark preceding any country or regional unit indicates that the record is doubtful. Each distribution record is validated by at least one citation code between square brackets. Country names listed in this catalogue are as current as possible. The link between “old” and current country names was ascertained in the 1958 Oxford Atlas (Lewis & Campbell, 1958). Our information sources have been the Hammond Atlas of the World (1995) and several web sites on the Internet, such as: Public National Imagery and Mapping Agency, Department of Defense (http://164.214.2.59/gns/html/index/html); Getty Information Institute. Thesaurus of Geographic Names (http://www.ahip.getty.edu/ tgn_browser/). Biology section includes brief information on life history as reported in the literature, with appropriate references. Economic Importance provides a summary of the damage inflicted by the species as a pest to agricultural crops. We have not included in this section information on chemical or biological control methods. However, numerous papers that deal with chemical and biological control, are listed in the Citations section. These will be easily traced by the appropriate key words. General. In this section a list of references is provided, arranged chronologically, that present taxonomic descriptions of the species. For some species, the description and illustration may be poor and almost inadequate for proper identification of the species, but it is the only information available. This section may include any comments that did not fit in other categories of the catalogue. The Keys section gives references to all published keys that include the species in question. Also given is the species name used in the key if different from the currently accepted valid name the life stage keyed and the geographical scope of the key. Citations consist of an alphabetical listing of citation codes of all publications that we have surveyed that cite the species name or its various forms, followed by several “keyword” descriptors that summarize the general contents of each paper, and the relevant page numbers within the publication for the species. The keywords are: behaviour, biological control, catalogue, chemical control, chemistry, description, distribution, ecology, economic importance, host, illustration, life history, pheromone, physiology, structure and taxonomy. GENUS CATALOGUE Genus catalogues are similar in structure and format to species catalogues, except that the former consists only of the following Sections: Header, Synonymy, Systematics, General, Keys and Citations. The Synonymy section provides information on the type species of the currently accepted valid genus and its synonyms. The Systematics section gives the main distinguishing characters of a genus. In some genera, with unique nomenclatural history, this is discussed. The Keys section lists all the publications that include keys to the species of the genus, and/or for the genus within the family. REFERENCES The References section provides complete bibliographic information for all citations in the main body of the catalogue. Journal titles are spelt out in full when the correct spelling of all components is known. In a few cases, abbreviations are given because the exact spelling of the journal title has not been ascertained. Also, it should be noted that the references listed for an author, in this Catalogue, are coded as in References database of ScaleNet. For example, E.E. Green published three papers in 1909 and they were labelled, in the References database of ScaleNet, Green 1909 to Green 1909b. However, only one of these contains information on the Margarodidae.

xviii

CATALOGUE FORMAT

For the sake of consistency, throughout the Coccoidea cataloguing system, the same paper code was retained here, even though only one publication by Green, namely Green 1909b, is listed in the References section of this Margarodidae volume. INDICES The catalogue concludes with an Index to Genera and an Index to Species that will help the user to trace the status and catalogue of any of the names used in the Margarodidae. All the taxa (genera, species and subspecies) of the Margarodidae are listed in these Indices according to their currently accepted subfamily status. Each of the Indices is arranged in two columns. The left column of each Index provides the name, followed by the name of an author, and the status of that name, i.e. accepted valid name, junior synonym, homonym, misspelling, replacement name (that is justified or unjustified), nomen nudum that is placed, nomen nudum that is unplaced, change of combination and change of rank. The left column provides the valid name for the taxon in the right column. For more information on a certain name, the user may check, in the catalogue, the list of synonyms or the valid name for details. Since the catalogue is arranged in alphabetical order, it will be easy to locate the valid name in the text of the catalogue. Due to technical reasons, it was pertinent to use, in part of the entries, the following abbreviation in the status description of some taxa: acc. – accepted & – and comb. – combination gend. – gender misspel. – misspelling nud. – nudum spe. – species val. – valid

agree. – agreement cha. – change epit. – epithet jun. – junior nom. – nomen replace. – replacement syn. – synonym

ACLERDIDAE Grass scales

Taxonomy and Nomenclature Cockerell (1905b) established the tribe Aclerdini (as part of the Coccinae [=Coccidae of current usage]) to include the species of Aclerda Signoret. Subsequently, Ferris (1937) raised this group to family rank, Aclerdidae, status that is widely accepted in scale insect taxonomy. Hodgson & Millar (2002) recognized in the family two subfamilies, namely Aclerdinae Cockerell, 1905 and Rhodesaclerdinae Hodgson & Millar, 2002. Descriptive activity The rate of taxa description in this family is given in Table 2.

Publications Comprehensive publications on systematics of the Aclerdidae include: McConnell (1954), Borchsenius (1960d), Kosztarab (1996) and Hodgson & Millar (2002). Host plant relationships The described species of this family, and particularly those belonging to the Aclerdinae, have been recorded mainly from gramineous host plants: 46 species have been reported only off Gramineae, 1 off Gramineae and Cyperaceae, 1 off Gramineae and Juncaceae, 2 off Orchidaceae, 1 off Bromeliaceae, while the host plant of 2 species is unknown. All four species belonging to the

ACLERDIDAE

Rhodesaclerdinae were recorded from host plants other than Gramineae; three from Combretaceae while the fourth from a plant of the Loranthaceae. Distribution The available records of Aclerdidae species indicate that the family occurs in the Afrotropical, Australian, Nearctic, Neotropical, Oriental and Palearctic zoogeographical regions of the world.

SYSTEMATICS: “The type slides of this species are in the United States National Collection, but they are in poor condition for study, especially the slides of the adult females and intermediate stages. Larval specimens from one slide produced some favorable specimens for study by additional clearing and staining. Careful study of all available material contributed some additional information, but insufficient to justify placing this species in any one of the genera assigned to the family Aclerdidae in this paper. The additional information found would seem to indicate a closer relationship to the genus Rhodesaclerda than to either of the other two genera. This is particularly true of the larvae, in that some of the abdominal segments have only one marginal spine on each side. It is the author’s opinion that when favorable material of this species has been procured, it will be found to belong in an unrecognized genus” (McConnell, 1954). HOST PLANTS: Gramineae Cocker1902a.

ASTEROLECANIIDAE Pit scales

Taxonomy and Nomenclature Targioni Tozzetti (1868) when first describing Pollinia Targioni Tozzetti and Asterolecanium Targioni Tozzetti placed each of these genera in a separate Sect. [Sic] of his Tribus 3 Lecanites. Signoret (1870a) further distinguished this group by establishing the tribe “Lécaniodiaspites” (as part of his “Lécanides”) to which he assigned the genera Pollinia, Asterolecanium, Planchonia Signoret and Lecanodiaspis Targioni Tozzetti. Cockerell (1896b) introduced the subfamily Asterolecaniinae in which he included Asterolecanium and Lecanodiaspis. Green (1896e) placed Asterolecanium “and its allies” in his Dactylopiinae, but later (Green, 1909a) accepted Asterolecaniinae in which were included Amorphococcus, Anomalococcus, Asterolecanium, Cerococcus, Lecanodiaspis and Pollinia. Fernald (1903b) placed to the subfamily Dactylopiinae, as interpreted by her, the genera Frenchia, Asterolecanium, Lecanodiaspis, Cerococcus, Anomalococcus, Amorphococcus, Antecerococcus, and Pollinia. Ferris (1937) and Ferris (1955a) regarded the Asterolecaniid group as a family to which he assigned part of the Dactylopiinae (sensu Fernald, 1903b), and included the genera Asterolecanium, Cerococcus, Lecanodiaspis, Mycetococcus, Mycococcus and Pollinia. Russell (1941) placed Asterolecanium (which included 156 species) and the genera Amelococcus, Amorphococcus, Anomalococcus, Callococcus, Cerococcus, Frenchia, Lecanodiaspis, Solenococcus, Olliffia and Polea in subfamily Asterolecaniinae of the Asterolecaniidae. Balachowsky (1942) also accepted the family Asterolecaniidae, but recognized in it two subfamilies, Asterolecaniinae (with the genera Asterolecanium, Lecanodiaspis, Pollinia and others) and Cerococcinae with the genus Cerococcus Comstock. Borchsenius (1960d) recognized two families in this group, namely Lecanodiaspididae (with the genera Prosopophora, Lecanodiaspis, Psoraleococcus and Cosmococcus) and Asterolecaniidae. The latter family was divided by Borchsenius to two subfamilies, Asterolecaniinae (with the genera Bambusaspis, Planchonia, Russellaspis, Asterolecanium, Hyalococcus, Hsuia, Trachycoccus, Palmaspis, Liuaspis, Asterodiaspis and Neoasterodiaspis) and Cerococcinae (with the genera Cerococcus, Phenacobryum, Asterococcus and Pollinia). In the supra generic classification system of Tang & Hao (1995) the family Asterolecaniidae was divided into 3 subfamilies, namely, Asterolecaniinae, Lecanodiaspidinae and Cerococcinae, all of which were further splitted to tribes and subtribes. In ScaleNet and in the Catalogues that resulted from this project, each of Asterolecaniidae, Cerococcidae and Lecanodiaspididae are given a family rank. Publications The most comprehensive revision of the major part of the Asterolecaniidae was carried out by Russell (1941). Russell revised 92 described species and subspecies and described 83 new species. In other words, 175 species (about 76%) of the 229 species currently available in the Asterolecaniidae have been studied by Russell (1941). Moreover, about a third, 36.2% (83 species of the 229) (36.2%) of the valid species in the family have been described by Russell (1941). Other comprehensive publications on the Asterolecaniidae are by Ferris (1955a), Borchsenius (1960d), Gill (1993), Tang & Hao (1995), and Kosztarab (1996).

Economic importance Several species of the Asterolecaniidae are pests or potential pests of agricultural crops. Asterolecanium coffeae Newstead James (1933) reported this species to cause heavy damage in certain low-lying coffee areas in Kenya. On crop-bearing parts of coffee trees it inflicts serious injury. Asterodiaspis mina (Russell) is a direct serious pest of oaks in USA, California, and also associated with the disease severity of twig blight of oaks. Asterodiaspis quercicola (Bouché). Gill (1993) indicated that this species could be detrimental to oaks in USA, California. Bambusaspis bambusae (Boisduval) and Bambusaspis miliaris (Boisduval) These species have been recorded from many species of bamboo in the West Indies, Central and South America, Africa, Asia. The infestations on leaves and trunk make the plants unsightly, and may reduce the quality of poles in furniture production. Palmaspis phoenicis (Ramachandra Rao) is a pest of date palm in Israel, Iraq, Egypt and North Africa (Howard et al., 2001). Planchonia arabidis Signoret has been reported to cause serious damage to sugar beet in Brownstown, Washington State, USA, causing about 50% yield reduction (Landis, 1968). Pollinia pollini (A. Costa) is a serious pest of olive in parts of the Mediterranean basin. Has been accidentally introduced to California, USA and eradicated from several areas in the state (Armitage & McKenzie, 1952).

Asterodiaspis Signoret Asterodiaspis Signoret, 1877: ccix. Type species: Aonidia ilicicola Targioni Tozzetti. Subsequently designated by Russell, 1941: 109. Notes: Signoret (1877a) designated the nominal species Asterolecanium quercicola (Bouché, 1851) as the type species. SYSTEMATICS: Signoret (1877a) designated the nominal species Asterolecanium quercicola (Bouché, 1851) as the type species. However, Russell (1941, p. 109) studied the specimens (from Quercus ilex, Nice, France), that have been identified as A. quercicola by Signoret (1877a), and concluded that the latter record was a misidentification of A. ilicicola (Targioni Tozzetti).

SYSTEMATICS: “Asterolecanium ilicis, described by Newstead in 1897 (p.100) as Planchonia ilicis on “scurb” from Constantine, Algeria, was listed as a synonym of variolosum by Lindinger in 1912b (280, 360), but has been accepted as a valid species by some authors, including Balachowsky (1932d p. xxiv). Newstead stated that ilicis was closely related to ilicicola, but that the two could be differentiated by the absence of a marginal fringe from the tests of the former and the presence of such a fringe on those of the latter. This is not satisfactory for separating the two forms. Newstead did not compare the morphological characters of these species, and type material of ilicis has been available to the writer. Specimens on Quercus from Constantine, Algeria, have been studied, however, and have been found specifically identical with specimens of ilicicola from Europe. Since there is no information in the original description to warrant the retention of ilicis as a valid species, and since specimens from its type host and locality belong to ilicicola, ilicis is here [Russell, 1941] synonymized with ilicicola.” (Russell, 1941: 107-108).

SYSTEMATICS: Leonardi (1909) first published the name Asterolecanium variolosum minor with a short notation reading “Vive su parecchie specie di Quercus. Gli esemplari furono raccolti in varie localita dell’Italia meridionale”. Lindinger (1912b) synonymized Asterolecanium variolosum minor with Asterolecanium variolosum. Russell (1941) suggested that Lindinger’s (1912b) action validated the name Asterolecanium variolosum minor of Leonardi (1909), and therefore credited the authorship of Asterolecanium minus which she described (Russell, 1941) to Lindinger. However, Leonardi (1909) publication did not meet the requirements of Article 12 of the International Code, and the synonymy by Lindinger (1912) did not validate the nomen nudum. Consequently, the author of A. mina is Russell.

BIOLOGY: Gill (1993) reported that this species is parthenogenetic in California. ECONOMIC IMPORTANCE: This species has been recorded from many species of bamboo in the West Indies, Central and South America, Africa, Asia. The infestations on leaves and trunk make the plants unsightly, and may reduce the quality of poles in furniture production (Bartlett, 1978a). Farag et al. (1990) evaluated the predatory efficiency and reproduction of the predatory mite, Agistemus exsertus Gonzalez.

Mycococcus Ferris Mycococcus Ferris, 1952: 2. Type species: Mycococcus coperniciae Ferris, by monotypy and original designation. SYSTEMATICS: Ferris (1952; 1955a) stated that this genus is apparently referable to the family Asterolecaniidae. The adult female of the type species is concealed beneath a roughly circular, flat, more or less vitreous scale, bearing dorsally a number of quite stout, curling filaments of wax. This is a most peculiar genus, the adult female of which contains almost no clue to its relationships. The eight-shaped pores of the first stage larva seem to indicate a relationship with the Asterolecaniidae. GENERAL: Definition and characters by Ferris (1952; 1955a).

BEESONIIDAE Taxonomy and nomenclature When Green (1926) describing the type species and the genus Beesonia, he discussed its unique characteristics but was unable to assign the genus to any of the available families at that time. Ferris (1950) realized that it was utterly different from other genera, and established for it the new family Beesoniidae. Williams (1969a) suggested that despite the obvious peculiarities of the genus, it probably has close affinities with the family Diaspididae on the basis of the adult males and pupillarial females. Foldi (1995) revised the South American genus Limacoccus Bondar, transferred it to Beesoniidae, and divided the latter to two tribes Beesoniini and Limacoccini. Takagi & Hodgson (2005) suggested, based on cladistic analysis, that the Beesoniidae are closely related to the Stictococcidae. Host plant association, gall forming and geographical distribution The 11 species, here placed in the tribe Beesoniini, are gall-inducing forms. Eight of these have been recorded only from host plants belonging to Dipterocarpaceae, in South East Asia territories. One species, Beesonia ferrugineus (doubtfully assigned to Beesoniidae) is known only from Australia, while Beesonia napiformis has been reported to form galls on Quercus spp. (Fagaceae) in Japan and China. All the 4 species, which have been assigned by Foldi (1995) to the tribe Limacoccini, are not gall-inducing forms, being recorded from plants of the Palmae in South America. Descriptive activity The rate of taxa description in this family is summarized in Table 4. Table 4 Number of genera and species in the Beesoniidae, described in each decade from 1758 to 2004. Decade

Beesonia ferrugineus (Froggatt) Sphaerococcus ferrugineus Froggatt, 1921b: 10. Type data: AUSTRALIA: northern New South Wales and southern Queensland, on Melaleuca. Syntypes, female. Type depository: Canberra: Australian National Insect Collection, CSIRO Entomology, Australia. Beesonia ferrugineus; Miller et al., 1998: 291. Change of combination. SYSTEMATICS: Miller et al. (1998) studied this species and indicated that its correct family placement was questionable. It forms very distinctive galls that resemble those formed by species of Beesoniidae. Mature females have shallowly invaginated quinquelocular pores (like in species of Beesoniidae and some Eriococcidae) and large bases to the clypeolabral shield (like Beesoniidae). While assigning this species to the Beesoniidae, Miller et al. (1998) indicated that young adult females and first-instar nymph are needed before the family placement can be confirmed. Miller et al. (1998) clearly assigned this species to the Beesoniidae but with no generic placement. For technical reasons the species is placed in the type genus of Beesoniidae. STRUCTURE: Froggatt (1921b) described the galls formed by this species as “Forming reddish brown to dull green rounded fluffy excrescences, composed of many fine filaments or bracts radiating from the basal gall, on the side or tip of the branches of several species of Melaleuca …”. The adult female was described by Froggatt (1921b) as “… dark reddish-brown, marked with dull yellow on the dorsal surface, and is embedded in the central woody cavity. General form oval, dorsal surface conical …”. HOST PLANTS: Myrtaceae: Melaleuca [Frogga1921b]. DISTRIBUTION: Australasian: Australia (New South Wales [Frogga1921b], Queensland [Frogga1921b]).

Beesonia napiformis was correctly included by Kozár & Drozdják (1998b) in the Beesoniidae, while Foldi (1998 and 2001a) erroneously listed it in the Margarodidae.

STRUCTURE: Takagi (1995) described this species “on the basis of larval forms purported to belong to 4 ontogenetic courses”. Takagi (1995) suggested that “the larval polymorphism is associated with exploitation of more than a single feeding site provided by the gall’s structure”. HOST PLANTS: Dipterocarpaceae: Shorea curtisii? [Takagi1995]. DISTRIBUTION: Oriental: Singapore [Takagi1995].

Echinogalla Takagi Echinogalla Takagi, 2001: 67. Type species: Echinogalla pustulata Takagi, by monotypy and original designation. SYSTEMATICS: Takagi (2001) originally placed this genus in Eriococcidae, but was not listed in the Eriococcidae catalogue by Miller & Gimpel (2000). Gullan et al. (2004) assigned the genus to Beesoniidae. Takagi (2001) compared Echinogalla with Gallacoccus because there was no other genus adequate for making a comparison with it. In reality, Echinogalla differs greatly from Gallacoccus, especially in the first instar. It is possible that some features and characters of the first instar reflect peculiar behavioural traits (Takagi, 2001). GENERAL: Definition and characters by Takagi (2001). CITATIONS:]; GullanMiCo2004 [taxonomy: 178-180]; Takagi2001 [description, distribution, taxonomy: 67-68]. Echinogalla pustulata Takagi Echinogalla pustulata Takagi, 2001: 68-70. Type data: MALAYSIA: Malaya, Kuantan Pahang, at Research Forest Reserve, on Shorea falcifera and S. glauca, 1990. Holotype female. Type depository: Kepong: Forest Research Institute, Selangor, Malaysia. SYSTEMATICS: The echinate gall induced by Echinogalla pustulata is very similar to that of Gallacoccus spinigalla, but these species are not particularly related to each other (Takagi, 2001). STRUCTURE: Adult female globular, simplified in structure. Quinquelocular disc pores abundant, strewn broadly along body margin on dorsal and ventral surfaces, not occurring anteriorly to anus. Small tubular ducts strewn among five-locular disc pores on abdomen. Setae spinose, mostly on dorsal surface within the band of five-locular disc pores, especially numerous between anus and vulva. Adult male slender and gracile; head with genal area enlarged, occupying a greater part of head, about 0.6–0.7 times as broad as prothorax (Takagi, 2001). HOST PLANTS: Dipterocarpaceae: Shorea falcifera [Takagi2001], Shorea glauca [Takagi2001]. DISTRIBUTION: Oriental: Malaysia (Malaya [Takagi2001]). BIOLOGY: Echinogalla pustulata induces galls in leaf axils, which do not differ in external appearance between plant species. Galls globular and with many robust conical spines, recurvate and separated from each other except for their bases (Takagi, 2001).

Holotype female. Type depository: Washington: United States National Entomological Collection, U.S. National Museum of Natural History, District of Columbia, USA. SYSTEMATICS: Slide-mounted adult female with: enlarged setae absent; antennae small, three-segmented; legs small and stout, femur and trochanter partially fused; anal ring without setae or pores; quinquelocular pores forming a broad band on submargin of venter; without tubular ducts (Beardsley, 1971b). STRUCTURE: Adult female globular, roughly circular. The galls from which the specimens were obtained resemble small fir cones and appear to be composed of a series of overlapping bract-like structures which are attached to a central axis (Beardsley, 1971b).

Type data: MALAYSIA: Malaya, Selangor, Gombak, near Field Study Centre, University of Malaya, along logging road, on probably Shorea sp.; collected March and April, 1993, by H.P. Heckroth. Holotype female. Type depository: Kepong: Forest Research Institute of Malaysia, Selangor, Malaysia. SYSTEMATICS: Gallacoccus heckrothi agrees with G. secundus and G. spinigalla in many characters but differs as follows: in the adult female the disc pores are of two types, the disc pores occur on the head as well as on the posterior portion of the body and some dorsal setae geminate; in the adult male the papillae are tubercular, the antennae, legs and genital capsule as well as the trunk are beset with papillae, the fifth antennal segment is provided with two-knobbed setae and the prescutum is relatively short. Some of these characters, when combined, may have generic value, justifying the erection of a new genus for this species, but it is tentatively referred to Gallacoccus (Takagi, 2001).

STRUCTURE: Adult female globular, simplified in structure. Quinquelocular pores variable in size, strewn about body on both surfaces except on head, where they are limited to the dorsal surface; broadly scattered in prothoracic region on dorsal surface and also anteriorly to anus; densely strewn between anus and vulva and laterally to vulva, none anteriorly to vulva. Derm with spicules on some segments anterior to anus. Adult male with head very small, abdomen about as long as thorax, gradually narrowing posteriorly on distal half (Takagi, 2001). HOST PLANTS: Dipterocarpaceae: Shorea [Takagi2001]. DISTRIBUTION: Oriental: Malaysia (Malaya [Takagi2001]). BIOLOGY: Galls produced by this species showed no processes on the external surface. One dry gall found was elongate globular, 3.8 cm long and 2.8 cm wide, glabrous on the external surface, with the distal end produced to form a short tube for exit. The gall was similar to galls produced by G. secundus, though the latter is not smooth on the external surface (Takagi, 2001).

SYSTEMATICS: Slide-mounted adult female similar to Gallacoccus anthonyae except with dorsal quinquelocular pores; protuberances present behind each hind coxa; trochanter and femur completely fused (Beardsley, 1971b). STRUCTURE: Adult female globular, broadly oval to circular in outline. The galls of this species are somewhat drupe-like in appearance, consisting of a globular fleshy basal portion with a beaklike apical projection. The interior of the gall contains a single large cavity which the scales occupy. These galls apparently may arise on small twigs and leaf petioles of leaf midribs (Beardsley, 1971b).

G. secundus; the second-antennal segment has no seta; the seta arising at the middle ventral surface of the hind tarsus is very long; the claws are apparently elongate. In the adult male, G. spinigalla differs from G. secundus in having a much smaller head and smaller eyes (Takagi, 2001). STRUCTURE: Adult female globular, simplified in structure. Quinquelocular disc pores variable in size, strewn broadly around anterior spiracles and also in a broad band along body margin on posterior half of body, completely surrounding vulva. Dorsal derm spiculate in some segments anterior to anus. Adult male with head small, much narrower than thorax, which is about 2.5 times as broad as the head; abdomen (excluding genital capsule) about as long as thorax, gradually narrowing posteriorly in distal half (Takagi, 2001).

CARAYONEMIDAE Water scales

Taxonomy and nomenclature This small and peculiar family was established by Richard (1986) for one genus, Carayonema Richard, and one species Carayonema orousseti Richard. The latter species was described from a female holotype and four nymphs, all collected in forest litter, at French Guyana in South America. Kozár & Konczné Benedicty (2000a) described three new species, each assigned to a new genus, and established for the four genera of the family three subfamilies, Carayoneminae Kozár, Mahunkacoccinae Kozár and Foldicoccinae Kozár. Morphology Kozár & Foldi (2002) described the specialized morphology of the adult female together with SEM micrographs. They also provided notes on the biology and suitable collection methods of members of this family. Host plants The host plant relationships of members of this family are unknown. The remarkably small number of recorded specimens was all collected from forest litter. Geographical distribution Kozár & Konczné Benedicty (2000a) showed that species of the Carayonemidae have been recorded so far only from tropical territories of the Neotropical region.

CONCHASPIDIDAE False armoured scales

Taxonomy and nomenclature Green (1896e, 1900a) first distinguished this group as a subfamily of the Coccidae. Later, Ferris (1937) ranked it as a family, a status that is currently widely accepted, e.g. Balachowsky (1942), Mamet (1954b), Morrison & Morrison (1966), Afifi (1969), Williams (1969a), Takagi (1997), Boratynski & Davies (1971), Ben-Dov (1981c), Williams (1992), Takagi (1997) and Kozár & Drozdják (1998d). Geographical distribution A remarkable rate of Conchaspidid species, 11 species of 29 (38%), have been described by Raymond Mamet (1912–1996) all of them from the Island of Madagascar. Nevertheless, as suggested earlier by Ben-Dov (1981c), this might be a reflection of the intensity of survey in this island. The published records suggest that members of this family are more abundant in tropical and subtropical regions of the southern hemisphere. Descriptive activity The rate of taxa description in this family is summarized in Table 5. Table 5 Number of genera and species in the Conchaspididae, described in each decade from 1758 to 2004.

Publications Mamet (1954b) revised the family on a world-wide basis. A catalogue of the family was prepared by Ben-Dov (1981c). Other comprehensive publication on the family were published by Ferris (1955a), Ben-Dov (1974a) and by Williams (1992).

Asceloconchaspis Williams Asceloconchaspis Williams, 1992: 1326. Type species: Asceloconchaspis milleri Williams. STRUCTURE: The adult female, as well as the nymphs of both sexes, of the species in this genus are covered by a scale formed by secretion of the underlying insect. In the general appearance the scale resembles that of species in the armoured scales family, Diaspididae. However, no exuviae are incorporated in a Conchaspididae scale, thus clearly distinguishing it from the Diaspididae. KEYS: Williams 1992: 1326 (female) [Key to genera of the world].

DACTYLOPIIDAE Cochineal scales

Taxonomy and nomenclature This family currently accommodates only species of cochineal scales. However, during the period (latter decades of nineteenth century and early 1920s) of nomenclatural confusion as to the definition of Dactylopius, about 120 species and subspecies have been described in or assigned to Dactylopius. Most of these species and subspecies are currently placed in the mealybug family, Pseudococcidae. The history, taxonomy and nomenclature of this confusion has been extensively discussed by Ferris (1955a), Morrison & Morrison (1966), De Lotto (1974a), Miller (1974b), Danzig & Kerzhner (1981), and Opinion 1247 of the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature (1983). Ferris (1955a) included under the family name Dactylopiidae all genera which are currently regarded members of the family Eriococcidae, but later (Ferris, 1957c) recognised Eriococcidae as a distinct family that also includes Dactylopius. Gullan & Cook (2001) concluded that the genus Dactylopius belongs to the Eriococcidae, based on morphological study of first-instar nymph, adult female and male and on molecular data. In this catalogue, the species of Dactylopius are maintained under the Dactylopiidae family name. Host plant relationships All the 10 species of the family infest and develop only on species of the plant family, Cactaceae. The cochineal scale, Dactylopius coccus is common on certain species of Cactaceae, especially Nopalea cochenillifera (commonly named “nopales”) that is native to Mexico and Central America. Economic importance Cochineal red dyestuff. The body of adult females of the cochineal scale, Dactylopius coccus is the source of red dyestuff of pre-Hispanic Mexico. The natives of pre-Hispanic Mexico farmed the cochineal with great skill. Through this process, they also selected for a domesticated form of the cochineal, a form that produce the best dye but was also more susceptible to stress from cold and rain than the wild form. When Spaniards arrived in Mexico, they were fascinated by the intense scarlet colour of cochineal dye, which was brighter and better than anything in the Old World. Textiles dyed with cochineal were shipped to Europe and became the one of most significant import commodity from Central America, under Spain monopoly. After about 250 years, the Spanish monopoly on cochineal production was broken when in 1777, a French naturalist smuggled infested cactus pads from Mexico to Haiti. Later, pads were transported to South America, India, the Canary Islands and Portugal. Nonetheless, the cochineal dyestuff became a valuable commodity. For example, Blanchard (1883) reported annual export, from 1845 to 1875, of cochineal insects from the Canary Islands fluctuated from 30 to 300 tonnes. However, there was a setback in the 1870s when synthetic red aniline dyes (from coal tar) were starting to be used instead of cochineal. Aniline dyes essentially replaced cochineal by the early 1900s. Since the 1870s when synthetic red aniline dyes (from coal tar) were starting to be used instead of cochineal, the Aniline dyes essentially replaced cochineal by the early 1900s. Fortunately, production of cochineal continued in Mexico, and this pigment began to appear in commercial products primarily as a food dye. In food industry, cochineal was also replaced by Aniline red dye numbers 2 and 40, which are believed now to be carcinogenic, and cochineal is being reconsidered as a safe food dye.

DACTYLOPIIDAE

Biological control. Since the discovery of the Americas by the Spaniards, this continent was the source of exportation and smuggling of Cactaceae species, for the purpose of cochineal breeding and ornamental plants. These transportations, especially from Mexico, to other regions of the world also included cacti that became noxious weeds in India, Sri Lanka, South Africa, Australia and elsewhere. Species of Dactylopius were included among the potential biological control agents imported to achieve control of cacti weeds in various regions (Moran & Zimmermann, 1984). See also discussion below, under D. austrinus, D. ceylonicus, D. confusus, D. opuntiae, D. salmianus and D. tomentosus.

COMMON NAMES: cochineal; cochineal insect; cochineal scale; cochinilla cultivada; cochinilla del carmin; cochinilla fina; grana cochinilla; grana cultivada; grana fina. SYSTEMATICS: For about 150 years this species was referred to, in scale insect taxonomy, as Coccus cacti Linnaeus, 1758. Cockerell (1899j) demonstrated that the latter species is actually a margarodid. The current status of this species is Protortonia cacti (Linnaeus, 1758) [Margarodidae: Monophlebinae]; see also Ben-Dov (2005a). Cockerell selected as a substitute for Coccus cacti the name Dactylopius coccus O. Costa, 1829. Lindinger (1943c) disclosed that Dactylopius coccus O. Costa was actually a junior synonym of Coccus sativus Lancry, 1791 and Coccus mexicanus Lamarck, 1801. De Lotto (1974a) discussed Lindinger’s findings, but remarked that, considering the wide acceptance of Costa’s name, Lindinger’s (1943c) changes were undesirable. De Lotto (1974a) noted that in order to stabilize Dactylopius coccus, the matter should be referred to the ICZN so that Coccus sativus Lancry, 1791 and Coccus mexicanus Lamarck, 1801, be placed on the Official List of Rejected Names, as nomina oblita. However, no such application has been made. Dactylopius coccus O. Costa, 1829 is accepted in this catalogue, as the currently accepted name of the cochineal insect, while Coccus sativus Lancry, 1791 and Coccus mexicanus Lamarck, 1801, are regarded as nomina oblita that are synonymous with Dactylopius coccus. Dactylopius coccus O. Costa, 1829, has been placed on the Official List of Species Names in Zoology. (Name Number 2851) (see ICZN, 1983.)

DISTRIBUTION: Afrotropical: Madagascar [Mamet1943a, Mamet1950]; South Africa [DeLott1974a]. Nearctic: Mexico [PortilAr1994] (Hidalgo [MacGreSa1984], Oaxaca [MacGreSa1984, Miller1996], Puebla [MacGreSa1984]).

ECONOMIC IMPORTANCE: This scale insect was first observed in the sixteenth century in Mexico by the Spaniards who subsequently introduced it to other Spanish territories as well as to Spain. The body of the adult female of this scale insect is the source of the red carmine dye. It was, and still cultivated for that purpose in Central and South America as well as in the Canary Islands (Donkin, 1977). The insect was, and still is bred for that purpose in Central and South America as well as in the Canary Islands (Donkin, 1977). Portillo & Arreola (1994) recorded a form of Nopalea cochenillifera from Peru resistant to the cochineal. Goeden (1978) discussed the use of this species in biological control of Opuntia spp. Cochineal extract was listed as one of the food ingredients capable of eliciting allergic sensitization, although it would rarely be classified as allergic (Taylor & Hefle, 2001).

ECONOMIC IMPORTANCE: This species has been introduced into five countries as a biological control agent to suppress Opuntia weeds; became established in Australia (Dodd, 1940); was established for a time in South Africa (Dodd, 1940; Annecke & Neser, 1977). Gilreath & Smith (1988) proved that natural enemies play a role in regulating population level of this scale on Opuntia cladophylls in Texas, USA. Goeden (1978) discussed the use of this species in biological control of Opuntia spp. GENERAL: Description and illustration of adult female by Ferris (1955a), De Lotto (1974a), Pérez Guerra & Kosztarab (1992) and Gill (1993). Portillo (1995) distinguished between the fine cochineal species Dactylopius coccus and a group of wild cochineal species comprising D. austrinus, D. ceylonicus, D. confertus, D. confusus, D. opuntiae, D. salmianus, D. tomentosus and D. zimmermani.

TAXA REMOVED FROM FAMILY This family currently accommodates only species of cochineal insects. However, during the period (latter decades of nineteenth century and early 1920s) of nomenclatural confusion as to the correct definition of Dactylopius, about 120 species and subspecies have been described in or assigned to Dactylopius. Most of these taxa now belong to the mealybug family, Pseudococcidae.

KERRIIDAE Lac scales

Nomenclature and etymology The word lac is derived from the Sanskrit word, laksha which means 100,000 and refers to the large number of the minute insects required to produce lac. Since the lac insects were assigned by Green (1896e) to a distinct subfamily, Tachardiinae, in the Coccidae (=Coccoidea of current usage), an inconsistency, involving three family-group names, have prevailed in the nomenclature of this family. The first family-group name of the lac insects, Tachardiinae, was introduced by Green, 1896e [type genus: Tachardia R. Blanchard in Signoret, 1886, (type species: Coccus lacca Kerr, 1782)]. This family-group name became established and used almost to the present (e.g. Fernald, 1903b; Chamberlin, 1923; Varshney, 1984b). However, it should be noted that Tachardia is an objective synonym of Kerria Targioni Tozzetti, 1884, by sharing the same type species. Kirkaldy (1906) first noted the priority of Laccifer Oken, 1815 (type species: Coccus lacca Kerr, 1782) over Tachardia R. Blanchard, but it was Cockerell (1924) who formally introduced the family-group name Lacciferidae and used it to replace Tachardiidae. Chamberlin (1925) accepted Cockerell’s changes and Lacciferidae was subsequently used for some time in lac insect taxonomy. Later, Lindinger (1933b) pointed out that the names in Oken (1815) were not consistently binominal, hence invalid, and therefore restored Tachardia and Tachardiidae. Oken’s (1815) book was intensively studied by the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature, and an informal opinion was published (ICZN, 1954) which actually supported Lindinger’s (1933b) conclusion. The International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature (1954b) opinion invalidated Laccifer, hence also the family-group name Lacciferidae. Nevertheless, several scale insect students continued to use Lacciferidae (e.g. Ferris, 1955a; Kapur, 1958; Munting, 1965a; Wang et al., 1982). The third family-group name for the lac insects, Kerriidae [Type genus: Kerria Targioni Tozzetti, 1884; (type species: Coccus lacca Kerr, 1782) was introduced by Lindinger, 1937 following his earlier findings concerning Laccifer (see above). Morrison & Morrison (1966) concluded that acceptance of Kerriidae as family name would not damage stability since several nomenclatural changes have been made during the 20th century in nomenclature of the lac insects family. Williams (1969a) in his review of the family-group names of scale insects discussed the nomenclature of the three group-names of lac insects, and actually paved the way for the wider acceptance of Kerriidae in recent years (e.g. Koteja, 1974; Miller & Kosztarab, 1979; Varshney, 1984; Williams & Watson, 1990; Matile-Ferrero & Couturier, 1994; Campbell et al., 1994; Gullan & Kosztarab, 1997; Ben-Dov & Lit, 1998; Lit & Gullan, 2001). Despite the senior synonymy status of Kerria over Tachardia, Article 23 of the International Code does not preclude the use of Tachardiidae (see Varshney, 1976). On the other hand, Article 40.2 provides for the maintenance of a replacement family-group name if it has won general acceptance. As shown above, Kerriidae has been frequently used since the 1970’s by more authors from more countries. Ben-Dov & Lit (1998) discussed in great details this nomenclatural issue and proposed to proceed using the name Kerriidae. Varshney (1999) disagreed and insisted on using Tachardiidae.

KERRIIDAE

Economic importance Lac production. Species of the lac insect family and their commercial, processed products (lac-dye, lac wax and lac resin) were known and used by humans since early times. The early, pre-Linnean records of lac and species of Kerriidae were documented in the Lac Literature compilation by Varshney (1970). The main processed products from Lac insects are: Lac dye, a scarlet pigment used in textile industry, Seedlac and shellac, which are employed in varnishes, paints, printing inks, sealing wax, micanite compounds, coatings for pharmaceutical and confectionery products. Besides, lac is the basic ingredient of an amazing list of articles, such as stiffening agents in the toes and soles of shoes and felt hats, shoe polishes, artificial fruits, lithographic ink, glazes in confections, photograph records, playing card finishes and hair dyes. The major producers of Lac and its derivatives today are India, Thailand and the People’s Republic of China; the first two are also the major exporters of lac products and share almost equally the export market, while China’s production is mainly consumed on the domestic market. Minor producers include Bangladesh, Myanmar, Viet Nam and Sri Lanka. Exports from India reached a peak in 1956–1957 totalling 42,840 tonnes. Today India is responsible for 50% of the world production. Most of the finished shellac is exported. Crop pests. Species of the Kerriidae were mainly reported as source for lac production; however several species have been recorded as agricultural pests. Austrotachardiella colombiana Kondo & Gullan. This species was reported to cause dieback of twigs and branches of two local cultivars of guava, Psidium guajava in Colombia (Kondo & Gullan, 2005). Austrotachardiella gemmifera (Cockerell). Cockerell (1914b) reported this species to destroy Chrysobalanus trees in Kingston, Jamaica. Paratachardina lobata lobata (Chamberlin). Pemberton (2003, 2003a) recorded this species as an invader pest in southern Florida, USA, where it was found infesting a total of 67 species of woody plants belonging to 30 plant families. Tachardina aurantiaca (Cockerell). This species was reported as a pest of crops in the Maldives (Watson et al., 1995). Publications Chamberlin (1923, 1925) revised the family. A catalogue of the family was published by Kapur (1958). Varshney (1970) provided an exhaustive bibliography on the family, including publications from pre-Linnean period.

Kerria (Kerria) Targioni Tozzetti Laccifer Oken, 1815: 430. Type species: Coccus lacca Kerr, by monotypy and original designation. Unavailable name; discovered by Lindinger, 1933b: 228. Notes: Kirkaldy (1906) first noted the priority of Laccifer Oken, 1815 (type species: Coccus lacca Kerr, 1782) over Tachardia R. Blanchard, in Signoret, 1886c, but it was Cockerell (1924) who formally introduced the familygroup name Lacciferidae and used it to replace Tachardiidae. Chamberlin (1925) accepted Cockerell’s changes and Lacciferidae was subsequently used in lac insect taxonomy. However, Lindinger (1933b) pointed out that the names in Oken (1815) were not consistently binomial, hence invalid, and therefore restored Tachardia Blanchard. Oken’s (1815) book was intensively studied by the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature, and an informal opinion was published (ICZN, 1954) which actually supported Lindinger’s (1933b) conclusion. The ICZN (1954) opinion invalidated Laccifer, hence also the family-group name Lacciferidae. Nevertheless, several scale insect students continued to use Lacciferidae (e.g. Ferris, 1955a; Kapur, 1958; Munting, 1965a; Wang et al., 1982). Carteria Signoret, 1874: 101.

SYSTEMATICS: Varshney (1976) recognized in Kerria (Kerria) lacca lacca of India, two infra sub-specific forms, which have been referred to by earlier workers as varieties or strains: 1. Kerria (Kerria) lacca lacca f. rangeeni which grows on Ficus spp., Butea monosperma and many other host plants, but not on Schleichera oleosa. The summer generation of this form lasts about 8 months, from October-November to June–July, is called the Baisakhi lac crop. The rainy season generation lasts about 4 months, from June–July to October–November, is called the Katki lac crop. The rangeeni is the major form found in India, though the quality of the lac produced by it is inferior. 1. Kerria (Kerria) lacca lacca f. kusumi which grows on Schleichera oleosa and some other host plants but not on Ficus spp. and not on Butea monosperma. The life cycle of both the generations is about 6 months. The summer generation from January–February to June-July, is called the Jethwi lac crop. The winter generation from June-July to January–February, is called the Aghani lac crop. The kusumi is the minor form found in India, but the quality of the lac produced by it is superior to that of the rangeeni form. Varshney (1967) reported on differences between the two forms in their body extracts, and in chromatographic and ultra-violet analyses. STRUCTURE: Colour photograph by Wong et al. (1999). Misra (1930a) described the postembryonic development, including life cycle, body form, migration of spiracles, wax secretion, lac glands, muscular system and nervous system. Takahashi (1941) illustrated the remarkable variation, from flat elongate to almost globular, in body shape of the adult female. The adult female of this species possesses a pair of long, slender and beaded malpighian tubes, which open by a common ampulla into the alimentary canal. Chromatographic analysis showed a positive relationship between the aqueous solution of lac dye and the malpighian tubes. Varshney & Ganguli (1972) suggested that the tubes absorb the lac-dye from body fluid together with other excretory matter and water. However, Varshney & Ganguli (1972) noted that the dye is not excreted, but stored in the tubes, as the honeydew drops are colourless. Varshney (1978) analysed the honeydew of adult females and found that it contains glucose, fructose, sucrose and an unidentified oligosaccharide. Varshney & Srivastava (1989) analysed the amino acids and carbohydrate constituents of the Kerria lacca f. rangeeni developing on Moghania macrophylla in India, and correlated them with the developmental stages and the annual generations of the insect.

separated into different species (Varshney, 1976; Sequeira & Bezkorowajnyj, 1998). Sharma (1991) and Sharma & Ramani (1997) found the pumpkin, Cucurbita moschata a suitable host for laboratory rearing of the two strains Kerria lacca f. rangeeni and Kerria lacca f. kusumi. The development period was shorter than on natural host plants. The pumpkin-developing insects produced about 30% less lac, and the rate of males increased significantly. ECONOMIC IMPORTANCE: Varshney (1970) published a bibliography of about 3000 references on all aspects of Lac insect studies - taxonomy, cultivation, natural enemies and economic importance. Miller (1937) presented a detailed account on attempts (1933-1937) to introduce Kerria lacca into Malaya from India, for commercial lac production. The attempts were abortive, and it was concluded that climatic conditions and other circumstances were wholly unsuitable in Malaya for lac propagation. Takahashi (1941) reported that “the lac cultivation is one of the outstanding industries in Siam [=Thailand]”. Sequeira & Bezkorowajnyj (1998) gave a detailed account on the economy of lac production in India. Sharma (1991) and Sharma & Ramani (1997) found the pumpkin, Cucurbita moschata a suitable host for laboratory rearing of the two strains Kerria lacca f. rangeeni and Kerria lacca f. kusumi. The development period was shorter than on natural host plants. The pumpkin-developing insects produced about 30% less lac, and the rate of males increased significantly. The species was introduced into and became established in the Black sea coast of Georgia and Caspian Sea Coast of Azerbaijan (Kachibaya, 1965; Hadzibejli, 1983). Hsieh & Hwang (1983) reported on experiments on chemical control of this species on litchi in Taiwan.

Lac Anderson nomen nudum Lac Anderson, 1790: 359. Nomen nudum. Notes: Morrison & Morrison (1966: 101) presented information about this Nomen Nudum as follows: “In his introductory letter to the Roxburgh 1790 article describing the lac insect, Anderson said: “Mr. Roxburgh’s discovery will bring Lac a genus into the class Hemiptera of Linnaeus”. There was no obvious use of the binomial system in this presentation”. It should be indicated that in the Coccoidea, there is also Lacca Signoret, 1869: 848, a Nomen Nudum which is placed with Ceroplastes in the Coccidae (see Ben-Dov, 1993: 153).

LECANODIASPIDIDAE False pit scales

Taxonomy and nomenclature Targioni Tozzetti (1869) assigned Lecanodiaspis to “Trib. 4a” Lecanodiaspites. This distinct status was accepted by subsequent authors, who differed, however, in its rank. Leonardi (1920), MacGillivray (1921), Ferris (1937, 1955a) regarded Lecanodiaspis as part of the Asterolecaniidae. Russell (1941) and Balachowsky (1942) placed Lecanodiaspis and related genera in subfamily Asterolecaniinae of the Asterolecaniidae, while Tang & Hao (1995) assigned the group to Subfamily Lecanodiaspidinae of Asterolecaniidae. Borchsenius (1959a) raised the group to family rank, Lecanodiaspididae and most authors followed this interpretation, e.g. Howell & Kosztarab (1972), Hodgson (1973a), Kosztarab & Kozár (1988), Williams & Watson (1990), Kosztarab (1996), Foldi (1997) and Gullan & Cook (2001). Williams (1969a) indicated that the family status Lecanodiaspididae was not certain. The name Lecanodiaspis, which has been introduced by Targioni Tozzetti (1869), was misspelled as Lecaniodiaspis by Signoret (1870a), and this misspelling has been perpetuated in scale insect nomenclature for almost a century; see list of misspellings under Lecanodiaspis below.
