Notes: Mean life tables for 2 generations of Lepidosaphes salicina, an important pest of shelterbelts in north China, were compiled in 1988-89 for Liaoning. The rate of predation of 2nd-instar nymphs by the mite Hemisarcoptes malus, an important natural enemy, was 36.3 and 41.6%, and the rate of parasitism of female adults by Aphytis proclia was 2.2 and 7.2%, resp. The population fluctuation trend index (I) for the 2 generations of L. salicina was 1.12 and 1.26, resp.
