Re: More Scale Insectes Required In Dictionary

The following Scale Insect species need adding to the Dictionary:

- Hydrangea Scale Insect - Pulvinaria hydrangeae Steinweden, 1946
- Woolly Currant Scale Insect - Pulvinaria ribesiae Signoret, 1873
- Woolly Vine Scale Insect - Pulvinaria vitis (Linnaeus, 1758)

and of course, the Scale Insect previously requested:

- Horse Chestnut Scale Insect - Pulvinaria regalis Canard, 1968

The names "Horse Chestnut Scale Insect" and "Pulvinaria regails Canard, 1968" should be synonimised UNDER Pulvinaria vitis (Linnaeus, 1758) as per the 2008 paper "Cytogenetic studies of European Pulvinariini (Homoptera: Coccidae)" by I.A. Gavrilov, I.V. Trapeznikova published in Comparative Cytogenetics, 2008 . Vol. 2, No. 2, P. 131-138. ISSN 1993-0771 (Print), ISSN 1993-078X (Online) which states:

"As for Pulvinaria regalis Canard, 1968, syn. n., we are placing this nominal species in synonymy under Pulvinaria vitis Linnaeus, 1758. There are no morphological differences between the type series of P. regalis, studied by the first author in Paris Museum d’Histoire Naturelle and numerous series of P. vitis from different Palaearctic regions."

Cheers

Re: More Scale Insectes Required In Dictionary

I am importing the Scale and Whitefly records from this paper

http://www.bnhs.co.uk/focuson/scales/do … 0BJENH.pdf

and cannot find the following species in Recorder's dictionaries:

Aleurochiton aceris (Modeer)
Aleurotuba jelinekii (Frauenfeld)
Asterodiaspis quercicola  (Bouche)
Asterodiaspis variolosa  (Ratzeburg)
Balanococcus diminutus (Leonardi)
Carulaspis minima  (Targioni-Tozzetti)
Coccus hesperidum   (Linnaeus)
Cryptococcus fagisuga Lindinger
Diaspidiotus bavaricus  (Lindinger)
Diaspidiotus ostreaeformis  (Curtis)
Diaspidiotus zonatus  (Frauenfeld)
Eulecanium douglasi  (Sulc)
Eulecanium tiliae  (Linnaeus)
Lepidosaphes ulmi (Linnaeus)
Lichtensia viburni  (Signoret)

Parthenolecanium rufulum  (Cockerell)
Phenacoccus aceris  (Signoret)
Physokermes hemicryphus  (Dalman)
Planococcus citri  (Risso)

(I did find other species that I needed in the List of Additional Names).

Can the above be added to the dictionaries please? There is a contact at the head of the paper if more taxonomic information is required, such as dates which aren't in the paper.

Thanks, Keith

Re: More Scale Insectes Required In Dictionary

Charles,

Seems to be a LOT of Pulvinaria scale insects to be added here:
