Pseudhomalopoda Girault 1915e [New state record]

Hosts. Hemiptera: Diaspididae

spp.

Remarks. A single specimen (CSCA) was collected on an aphid-infested pecan tree ( Carya sp., Juglandaceae) in Orange County, and identified as Pseudhomalopoda nr. guamensis by Burks in 1959. The specimen is now badly damaged, and all that remains is the mesosoma (with a pin running through the scutellum), two legs, one forewing and one hind wing. The fore wing venation nearly matches that of Pseudhomalopoda prima Girault 1915e, so it appears that the determination by Burks is correct. Besides armored scales, hosts recorded in the literature include Aleyrodidae and Coccidae .
