Abstract | ||
Twenty two species of scale insects (Homoptera: Coccoidea) were recorded so far from citrus spp., in Egypt. About half of these species are pests of economic importance, whereas the rest are infrequent components of the citrus Orchards fauna in the country, rarely reaching pest status. The history of introduction, the distribution and the status of these Coccoids in Egypt are discussed. | ||
