Silva, R.A. da, Michelotto, M.D., Busoli, A.C., & Barbosa, J.C. 2004 Predacao de Diaspididae por larvas de Coccidophilus citricola em diferentes temperaturas. [Predation of Diaspididae by Coccidophilus citricola larvae at different temperatures.]. Ciencia Rural 34(5): 1321-1325.

Notes: Predation of Aspidiotus nerii, Chrysomphalus aonidum, Selenaspidus articulatus and Parlatoria cinerea by Coccidophilus citricola at 19, 24 and 29 plus or minus 1 deg C was studied. S. articulatus was the most preferred prey at all temperatures. The increase in the temperature reduced predation of Chrysomphalus aonidum nymphs, but increased predation of S. articulatus.
