Cheletogenes ornatus | SchneiSkOc2019 | These mites were observed residing within the vacated cuticles of parasitized armored scale insects. Thus, the presence of a parasitoid (Encarsia perniciosi) attacking scale populations may promote predation on diaspidid crawlers by providing nesting habitat for the predatory mites.

Structure: Female scale elongate oval or irregularly circular, convex; dull greenish yellow; older specimens dirty pale yellow with posterior margin brown (Kuwana, 1932).
Economic Importance: Kosztarab (1996) considered D. pseudomeyeri to be a rare species. Stimmel (2002), however, reported finding false Meyer scale at damaging levels “on a somewhat regular basis,” particularly around the Philadelphia area, and suggested it may eventually become a serious pest. (Schneider, et al., 2019)
General Remarks: Description and illustration of adult female by Kuwana (1932), Kuwana (1933), Takahashi & Takagi (1957) and by Kosztarab (1996).
