Notes: This book was written to accommodate a university class called "Insects Affecting Subtropical Fruit Plants" held at UCLA. Citrus fruit pests have been given the greatest attention. The most widespread of the citrus scale insects is Lepidosaphes beckii. Aonidiella aurantii, A. citrina, Chrysomphalus aonidum and Selenaspidus articulatus are considered so similar in structure, life history, habits and response to the usual insecticides, that experience gained in one region against one or more of these pests is of value in combating the other species in widely separated regions. Other crops discussed are grape, walnut, almond pecan, fig, olive, avocado, date and pests of minor subtropical truits. Pest species discussed or mentioned include Aonidiella comperei, A. orientalis, A. taxus, Aspidiotus camelliae, A. destructor, A. duplex, A hederae, A. juglans-regiae, A. scutiformis, Ceroplastes catitala, C. ceriferus, C. cerripediformis, C. destructor, C. floridensis, C. rubens, C. rusci, C. sinensis, Chionaspis yanonensis, Chrysomphalus dictyospermi, C. obscurus, C. rossi, Coccus acuminatus, C. hesperidum, C. pseudomagnoliarum, C. viridus, Dactylopius sp., Eucalymnatus tessellatus, Fiorinia theae, Hemiberlesia lataniae, Icerya floccosa, I. pulcher, I. purchasi, I. seychellarum, Lecanium cerasoru, L. corni, L. deltae, L. pruinosum, Lepidosaphes beckii, L. ficus, L. gloverii, Parlatoria blanchardii, P. longispina, P. oleae, P. morrisoni, P. pergandii, P. proteus, P. sinensis, P. theae, P. zizyphus, Phenacoccus hirsutus, Phoenicococcus marlatti, Protopulvinaria pyriformis, Pseudoanidia duplex, P. trilobitiformis, Pseudococcus adonidum, Quadraspidiotus juglans-regiae, Rhizoecus kondonis, Saissetia coffeae, S. hemisphaerica, S. nigra, S. oleae, Toumeyella sp., Unaspis citri and Vinsonia stellifera.
