Notes

  • Keys out to Hyperaspis silvestrii Weise using Leeper(1976).
  • Introduced to Hawaii from Mexico in 1922. Hosts include Pseudococcus nipae (=Nipaecoccus nipae), and Pseodococcus pseudonipae (=Nipaecoccus nipae) (Leeper 1976).
  • Also preys on papaya mealybug, Paracoccus marginatus (Heu et al. 2004)
  • This appears to be a first record for the Marianas.
