Notes
- BL 2mm; elytra without pubescence, punctate; 4 pale yellow spots in a 2-2 pattern
- 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.
- Identification as Hyperaspis silvestrii was confirmed by Bernarr Kumashiro, Hawaii Department of Agriculture, from examination of digital images (email to A. Moore 6-SEP-2007).
- Specimens were collected on Guam on 5-Feb-2008.
