Treatment

Hosts. Hemiptera : Pseudococcidae

perminutus Girault 1915 a: 173

Type. QM

Distribution. E (Los Angeles, Riverside, San Luis Obispo, Ventura)

Host/habitat. Delottococcus quaesitus , Ferrisia virgata ,? Phenacoccus maderiensis , Planococcus citri , P. ficus , P. kenyae , P. lilacinus , P. sp. nr. ficus , P. vovae , Pseudococcus bingervillensis , P . longispinus, P. njalensis , P. maritimus , Spilococcus sp.; NEW: Pseudococcus cryptus [ UCRC]

Remarks. Initially imported from Hawaii in an unsuccessful biocontrol program against P. citri (as Pauridia peregrina Timberlake 1919 b), this species later established from material imported from China in 1950 ( Bartlett 1978 c). Another strain was recently imported from South Africa and released in the central coastal area (Daane et al. 2008). The host record of Planococcus krauhniae in reports from the early 20 th century represents a misidentification of P. citri ( Bartlett 1978 c). Two specimens ( UCRC) are recorded from Aonidiella aurantii on Valencia oranges from Riverside County, but this record needs to be confirmed.
