A Systematic Catalogue of Eight Scale Insect Families (Hemiptera: Coccoidea) of the World : Aclerdidae, Asterolecaniidae, Beesoniidae, Carayonemidae, Conchaspididae, Dactylopiidae, Kerriidae and Lecanodiaspididae

A Systematic Catalogue of Soft-Scale Insects is a synthesis and catalogue of all the information published on eight families of scale insects (Hemiptera: Coccoidea) worldwide from 1758 to the present. Data is provided on their correct scientific names, common names, synonyms, taxonomy, host plants, distribution, natural enemies, biology, and economic importance. This book will be a valuable compendium of biological and systematic information for zoologists, entomologists, crop protection specialists, quarantine officers, students studying entomology and related disciplines, and others who require information about scale insects for research and control projects. Families covered: • Aclerdidae - 57 species in 5 genera • Asterolecaniidae - 229 species in 21 genera • Beesoniidae - 15 species in 6 genera • Carayonemidae - 4 species in 4 genera • Conchaspididae - 29 species in 4 genera • Dactylopiidae - 10 species in 1 genus • Kerriidae - 97 species in 9 genera • Lecanodiaspididae - 82 species in 12 genera Front cover......Page 1 A SYSTEMATIC CATALOGUE OF EIGHT SCALE INSECT FAMILIES (HEMIPTERA: COCCOIDEA) OF THE WORLD......Page 5 Copyright page......Page 6 CONTENTS......Page 9 PREFACE......Page 13 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS......Page 14 INTRODUCTION......Page 15 STATISTICS......Page 16 CATALOGUE FORMAT......Page 17 REFERENCES......Page 21 ACLERDIDAE......Page 23 CATALOGUE......Page 25 REFERENCES......Page 46 INDICES......Page 52 ASTEROLECANIIDAE......Page 55 CATALOGUE......Page 57 REFERENCES......Page 151 INDICES......Page 176 BEESONIIDAE......Page 185 CATALOGUE......Page 186 REFERENCES......Page 194 INDICES......Page 197 CARAYONEMIDAE......Page 199 CATALOGUE......Page 200 REFERENCES......Page 202 INDICES......Page 203 CONCHASPIDIDAE......Page 205 CATALOGUE......Page 206 REFERENCES......Page 221 INDICES......Page 228 DACTYLOPIIDAE......Page 231 CATALOGUE......Page 233 REFERENCES......Page 248 INDICES......Page 267 KERRIIDAE......Page 269 CATALOGUE......Page 272 REFERENCES......Page 319 INDICES......Page 333 LECANODIASPIDIDAE......Page 337 CATALOGUE......Page 339 REFERENCES......Page 374 INDICES......Page 387 "This book is a synthesis and catalogue of all the information published on eight families of scale insects (Hemiptera: Coccoidea) worldwide from 1758 to the present.
