Stathas, G.J. 2001a The scale Nemolecanium graniformis (Wunn) (Homoptera: Coccidae) in Greece.. Anzeiger für Schädlingskunde 74(3): 57-59.
Notes: The phenology and natural enemies of Nemolecanium graniformis (Wunn)(Homoptera: Coccidae) in infesting Abies caphalonica, were studied in Greece during 1998-1999. This oviparous species develops one generation per year in Central Greece (Attica) and overwinters as 2(nd) instar nymph. Young adult females appear by the end of July, and the first instar nymphs by the middle of August. By the middle of October, the whole population of the scale is recorded as 2(nd) instar nymphs. The parasitoids Coccophagus lycimnia (Walker), Coccophagus Westwood sp., Aphycoides Mercet sp. and the predator Exochomus quadripustulatus L. (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae), were observed as natural enemies of the scale. The average fecundity of N. graniformis was 188.4 eggs.
