Park, I.G., Mah, Y.I., Yoon, H.J., & Yang, S.Y. 1998 [Studies on the regional distribution and some ecological characteristics of Chinese white-wax scale in Korea.]. Korean Journal of Applied Entomology 37: 2, 137-142.

Notes: The regional distribution and some ecological characteristics of Ericerus pela were investigated in 1996/97 in the Republic of Korea. 10.8% of the stems of privet (Ligustrum obtusifolium) were infested with the scale in Chungpyong compared 1.1% in Yongwol and Pyongtaek. The average survival rate of the female adult on privet was 85.3%. A female laid 7783.5 eggs on average, and 36.7% of females laid between 7000 and 10 000 eggs. Average egg size was 0.40 mm in length and 0.21 mm in width. The hatchability was highest at 27°C. Eggs could be preserved at 15°C for 50 days in maximum.
