Revisão de Pseudoparlatoria (Hemiptera, Diaspididae)

Abstract

ABSTRACT. Review of Pseudoparlatoria (Hemiptera, Diaspididae). The armored scale insects of genus Pseudoparlatoria Cockerell, 1892 were revised through the exam of the type series, species obtained in the type-localities and available material in scientific collections. Pseudoparlatoria argentata Hempel, 1912; P. browni McKenzie, 1963; P. campinensis Lepage & Giannotti, 1946; P. carolilehmanni Balachowsky, 1959; P. caucae Balachowsky, 1959; P. circularis Lepage, 1942; P. constricta Fonseca, 1975; P. elongata Ferris, 1941; P. fusca Ferris, 1941; P. fusiformis Fonseca, 1969; P. lentigo Ferris, 1942; P. maculata Ferris, 1942; P. noacki Cockerell, 1898; P. occultata (Hempel, 1937); P. ostreata Cockerell, 1892; P. parlatorioides (Comstock, 1883); P. perparvula Ferris, 1942; P. pisai (Hempel, 1904); P. punctata Ferris, 1942; P. rossetae Fonseca, 1969; P. serrulata Townsend & Cockerell, 1898; P. subcircularis Balachowsky, 1959; P. tillandsiae Tippins, 1970; P. trimaculata Lepage & Giannotti, 1946; P. turgida Ferris, 1941 were redescribed. Pseudoparlatoria mammata (Ferris, 1941) and P. sculpta (Ferris, 1941) are new combinations. An identification key to species is provided. KEYWORDS.Taxonomic revision, armored scale insect, diaspidid, Neotropical. RESUMO.Revisou-se a taxonomia das espécies incluídas em Pseudoparlatoria Cockerell, 1892, através do exame das séries tipo, exemplares obtidos nas localidades-tipo e material disponível em coleções científicas.

Ocorrência de cochonilhas em espinheira-santa (Maytenus ilicifolia Mart. ex Reissek)

“…Outros autores relataram a ocorrência de cochonilha de escudo (carapaça) em espinheira-santa (Negrelle et al, 1999e Cirio et al, 2003, mas sem identificação. Outras espécies de cochonilha com escudo foram identificadas por Wolff (2008) (Peronti et al, 2008).…”

Phylogeny and classification of armored scale insects (Hemiptera: Coccomorpha: Diaspididae)

“…These characters caused Ferris to place this species, with a few others, in a separate genus, Malleolaspis Ferris. Wolff (2008) synonymized Malleolaspis with Pseudoparlatoria, an action that implies, given the phylogeny (Fig 5), that Situlaspis and Xerophilaspis should also be synonyms of Pseudoparlatoria, which would then be recognized as a morphologically heterogeneous genus united by the absence of perispiracular pores. Alternatively, a morphologically homogeneous and monophyletic Pseudoparlatoria could be preserved, but this would require resurrection of the genus Malleolaspis.…”
