Remarks

  • Systematics: Fiorinia pinicola is similar to F. fioriniae (Ferris, 1936). Tang (2001) considers F. pinicola to be a junior synonym of F. fioriniae.
  • Structure: Female scale 2 mm long, second exuviae covered with a thin, frost-like coating of wax which extends past the posterior end of the exuviae as a white appendage. Male scale fluffy. Adult female elongate oval, broadly rounded anteriorly. Median pygidial lobes quite large, apically divergent, forming a broad notch at the apex of body (Ferris, 1950a).
  • Economic Importance: Miller & Davidson (1990) list this insect as a pest.
  • General Remarks: Detailed description and illustration by Balachowsky (1954e).
