Remarks
- Structure: Female induces the formation of shallow pits on twigs of host plants. Photograph of pit galls by Gullan et al. (2004) The female body is almost round or oval, rarely slightly produced posteriorly and covered by a transparent secretion; brownish or greenish yellow. White or pink wax filaments on body margin and dorsal areas; dorsal filaments generally longer than marginal ones (Russell, 1941; Stumpf, 2000). The newly deposited egg is yellow in colour and gradually becomes darker before hatching. It is oval in shape and is about 0.23 mm long and 0.13 mm wide. The second larval stage is easily recognized by its round shape and dark-brownish or greyish colour. It also grows in size and becomes yellow in color. (EFSA2022d)
- Biology: In the study from Egypt by El-Minshawy et al. (1971) females went through two larval stages and no males were observed. The pest had two annual generations and only nongravid females were able to overwinter. The duration of the life cycle in summer was from 93 to 120 days, in winter from 240 to 275 days. (EFSA2021)
- Economic Importance: A pest of tea in Zhejiang, China (Cen, 1986). A serious pest of apple trees in China (Abd El-Salam & Mangoud, 2001). The scale was found in a greenhouse at a botanical garden in the UK in 1982 (Malumphy, 1996) but there have been no records since then and it is no longer present in the UK. A report of R. pustulans in Australia by Malumphy (2014) is erroneous. The occurrence in New York State dates from 1923 and the species’ continued presence there is uncertain. The reports of R. pustulans occurring in Italy and Malta are questionable. (EFSA2022d)
