Pulvinaria iceryi (Signoret) (Hemiptera: Coccidae) and its allies on sugar-cane and other grasses
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 10 July 2009
Abstract
The recent attack by Pulvinaria iceryi (Sign.) on sugar-cane in Mauritius is discussed in the context of other attacks by sap-sucking Hemiptera in the Mascarenes. P. iceryi is compared with its allies P. elongata Newst., P. saccharia DeLotto, P. sorghicola De Lotto and P. tenuivalvata (Newst.). The name of P. longisqua De Lotto is sunk as a synonym of P. elongata and a key is presented for the five related species.
