Remarks
- Structure: Scale of female subcircular, white, exuviae at edge, yellow, convex. Male scale same color as female, smaller. Female scale thin, greyish white, somewhat uniform. Exuviae pale yellow, the first projecting, the second submarginal. Adult female broadest in the cephalo thoracic region (Rutherford, 1916).
- Biology: Aulacaspis tegalensis has a high fecundity, a female can lay 700-800 eggs and crawlers are produced by the millions in heavily infested sugar cane (Williams & Greathead, 1973). This species is stem-inhabiting and is unable to thrive on other parts of its host (Bjorking & Spry, 1977).
- Economic Importance: Detailed discussion of the economic importance and control of this species by Williams & Greathead (1973). Miller & Davidson (1990) list this insect as a serious pest.
- General Remarks: Detailed description and illustration by Williams & Watson (1988).
