Flanders, S.E. 1958a The role of the ant in the biological control of scale insects in California.. Proceedings of the Tenth International Congress of Entomology. Vol. 4. Ottawa 1115 pp.

Notes: [Conference held August 17-25, 1956 in Montreal, Canada] In California economically important ant-induced outbreaks of homopterous insects are largely limited to plants on which the Argentine ant, Iridomyrmex humilis Mayr., is attending the citrus mealybug, Planococcus citri (Risso). Aonidiella aurantii and A. citrina are also mentioned.
