Abstract
ABSTRACT The armoured scale insect Oceanaspidiotus spinosus (Comstock 1883) (Hemiptera: Diaspididae) was found on kiwifruit from the Bay of Plenty in April 2019. This is the first record from New Zealand. Subsequent surveys have confirmed O. spinosus at multiple locations in the Bay of Plenty and Gisborne regions and it is now considered to be established. Previously, only three armoured scale species: Hemiberlesia lataniae, Hemiberlesia rapax and Aspidiotus nerii, have been found on kiwifruit in New Zealand. Reliable identification of these species and O. spinosus requires slide mounting and microscopic examination of adult female specimens. Oceanaspidiotus spinosus is a cosmopolitan species recorded in 51 countries and island states. It is highly polyphagous and has been found on many host plants including kiwifruit, avocado, citrus, apple, persimmon, grape and blueberry. Although O. spinosus is not reported to be a major pest of these hosts, it may have market access implications for exported crops.
期刊介绍:
The invertebrate diversity of New Zealand is of great interest worldwide because of its geographic isolation and geological history. The New Zealand Entomologist plays an important role in disseminating information on field-based, experimental, and theoretical research.
The New Zealand Entomologist publishes original research papers, review papers and short communications. We welcome submissions in all aspects of science regarding insects and arthropods in a New Zealand or Australasian setting. The journal’s subject matter encompasses taxonomy, phylogenetics, biogeography, biological control and pest management, conservation, ecology and natural history.
The journal is the official publication of the Entomological Society of New Zealand. Papers published or submitted elsewhere for publication will not be considered, but publication of an abstract or summary elsewhere (e.g. conference proceedings) does not preclude full publication in the New Zealand Entomologist. Accepted papers become copyright of the Entomological Society of New Zealand. The journal is published in English, but we also welcome publication of abstracts in Maori.
