Keys

Hodgso2020: pp.221-223 ( Adult (M) ) [Coccidae species] Key as: Filippia viburni
KondoMoDi2018: pp.381-382 ( Adult (F) ) [Coccidae associated with Rosmarinus]
Borchs1957: pp.189 ( Adult (F) ) [Palaearctic region]

Remarks

Structure: The adult female is about 5 mm in length, has a yellowish body, with darker, oval and slightly convex spots; in females, the body appears covered with an ovisac of white wax, produced by the ceriparous glands of the back. Nymphs are greenish-yellow and oval. The male is winged. (Gharbi2021)
Biology: Quaglia & Raspi (1979b) studied (as Philippia oleae) the ecology and life history on olive in Italy, Toscana. In Sicily, Italy, it develops two annual generations (Longo, 1988). Lichtensia viburni develops on the underside of leaves and shoots, particularly in the thickest parts of the foliage. overwinters as a nymph which completes development in the following spring. Females lay their eggs in their sacs between May and June. The emergence of the first generation nymphs requires about 2–3 weeks; the appearance of the second generation nymphs occurs between August and September (Quaglia 1986). In central and northern Italy, on olive trees, L. viburni is able to producing 1 or 2 generations per year (Kosztarab & Kozar 1988)
General Remarks: Good description and illustration of the adult female given by Ben-Dov (1975), Kosztarab & Kozar (1988), Tang (1992) and by Hodgson (1994a). Good description and illustration of the third-instar female nymph given by Ben-Dov (1975). Good description and illustration of the first-instar nymph given by Ben-Dov (1975).
