Zhang, C., Guo, J.-L., Yang, T.-T., & Huang, S.B. 2023 Comparison of morphological characteristics of Icerya aegyptiaca (Douglas) and I. jacobsoni Green (Hemiptera, Coccomorpha, Monophlebidae) [埃及吹绵蚧与捷氏吹绵蚧 （半翅目， 蚧次目，绵蚧科） 的形态特征比较]. Environmental Entomology 45(3): 828-832
Keywords:
Notes: Icerya aegyptiaca (Douglas) and I. jacobsoni Green, both belonging to the Monophlebidae, Icerya, are common pests in southern China. It's difficult to distinguish morphologically and is often confused because of the covered waxy secretions at developmental stages. This study provides a detailed comparison of the host plants, live morphological characteristics, and slide specimen characteristics of these two species. Our results can provide a basis for accurate identification, monitoring, and controlling.
