Coccidology. The study of scale insects (Hemiptera: Sternorrhyncha: Coccoidea) (2009, background): “Many are important pests of agriculture (e.g., Peronti et al., 2001; Miller et al., 2005; Culik et al., 2007) and may injure or kill plants by depleting them of their sap, injecting toxins, transmitting viruses or excreting honeydew, which serves as a medium for sooty moulds (Williams & Granara de…”
ScaleNet: a literature-based model of scale insect biology and systematics (2016, background): “For example, scale insects account for only 1% of the total insect fauna of the United States, but for 13% of the introduced insect fauna, and on average one new invasive species is established as a pest in the USA per year (4).”
A subfamily‐level classification of mealybugs (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae) based on integrated molecular and morphological data (2008, background): “…phloem-sucking plant parasites, some of which are very important agricultural pests [for example, the cassava mealybug Phenacoccus manihoti Matile-Ferrero, the pink hibiscus mealybug Maconellicoccus hirsutus (Green), and the vine mealybug Planococcus ficus (Signoret)] (Miller et al., 2002, 2005).”
A new pest of tomato and other records of mealybugs (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae) from Espírito Santo, Brazil (2005, background): “…females of D. brevipes have plump, convex, pinkish bodies, covered with white powdery wax, surrounded by 17 pairs of short wax filaments; the terminal filaments are longer than the lateral filaments but less than half as long as the body (Zimmerman 1948; Mau & Kessing 1992; Miller et al. 2005a).”
