Pulvinaria View in CoL View at ENA undetermined sp. 1

Single HK sample, tentatively determined as Pulvinaria , in BMNH from Diospyros sp. at Kadoorie Farm (NT).

Saissetia coffeae (Walker, 1852)

Samples in BMNH from Citrus sinensis , Citrus sp. , Cycas revoluta , Eugenia uniflora , Gardenia jasminoides , Mandevilla boliviensis (“ Dicladenia bolivi ” [sic]), Manilkara zapota [= Achras sapota ], Momordica charantia , Plumeria cultivated variety, Psidium guajava , Rhodomyrtus tomentosa , Sechium edule and Talinum paniculatum . Reported from HK by Lee & Winney (1981).

Saissetia miranda (Cockerell & Parrot, 1899)

Two samples in BMNH, from Mai Po Marshes (NT) and Kowloon, both on Melia azedarach .

Saissetia neglecta De Lotto (1969)

Single sample in BMNH, uncertainly determined, from Telosma cordata at Fanling (NT).

Saissetia oleae (Olivier, 1791)

Reported by Hill et al. (1982) but no known vouchers. A slide is in PPRD with three nymphs and a parasitized female, from Ilex rotunda var. microcarpa .

Saissetia vivipara Williams & Watson (1990)

We have cautiously determined a single small sample in BMNH, from Schefflera heptaphylla [= S. octophylla ] within a nest of Oecophylla ants at Pat Sin Leng Country Park (NT). The sole slide bears teneral females and observations (by the first author) that the dorsal setae are shorter than described but still setose, there are fewer interstigmatic marginal setae, and that polygonal areolations are not discernible.
