“…Kondo et al (2012) could not differentiate C. similis and C. zeteki based on available data and so both species key out at the same couplet in their key. They noted that C. similis and C. zeteki have been separated based on a possible difference in the number of cicatrices, i.e., 5 in C. similis and 7 in C. zeteki (Morrison, 1927;Unruh and Gullan, 2008;Kondo and Unruh, 2009). Thus, according to this view, the Crypticerya species collected in the present study should key out as C. similis as the present specimens had 5 cicatrices.…”

“…Some of these, e.g., C. brasiliensis (Hempel, 1900), C. genistae (Hempel, 1912) and C. multicicatrices (Kondo and Unruh, 2009;Kondo et al, 2016) are polyphagous and are considered economic pests in South America (Culik et al, 2007;Hempel, 1912;. Hitherto, five species of Crypticerya have been recorded in Brazil, namely: C. brasiliensis (Hempel, 1900), C. flava (Hempel, 1920), C. flocculosa (Hempel, 1932), C. luederwaldti (Hempel, 1918) and C. genistae.…”

The Colombian fluted scale Crypticerya multicicatrices Kondo & Unruh (Hemiptera: Monophlebidae) is a polyphagous insect pest native to continental Colombia and reported on 148 species, mainly palms (Arecaceae); mango, Mangifera indica (Anacardiaceae); and leguminous trees and shrubs (Fabaceae). The biology and ecological parameters of C. multicicatrices were investigated using as a host plant Caesalpinia pluviosa var. peltophoroides (Fabaceae) under two environmental conditions: semifield (max temp., 31.5 ± 3.0°C; max. RH, 78.9 ± 6.0%) and a glass house (max. temp., 37.1 ± 5.1°C, max. RH, 67.0 ± 6.2%) in the premises of Corpoica, Palmira Research Station. The duration of the different developmental stages was highly different under both temperature conditions. First- and third-instar nymphs, the period of ovisac growth of the adult, and the duration of the life cycle were significantly higher in the semifield conditions compared to the glass house conditions. In contrast, the second-instar nymph stage was shorter in the semifield conditions. The duration of the fourth-instar stage (adult) and the reproductive period were the same in both environments. As for the evaluated ecological parameters, a great difference was found between the two environmental conditions, where the net reproductive rate (R ) and mean generation time (T) were significantly higher in the semifield conditions than in the glass house conditions. The obtained biological and ecological information is an essential tool for finding strategies to control this insect pest. This is the first detailed study on the biology of a species in the genus Crypticerya Cockerell.

The coccinellid beetle Anovia punica Gordon (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae: Noviini) is an important predator of the Colombian fluted scale, Crypticerya multicicatrices Kondo & Unruh (Hemiptera: Monophlebidae). In order to gather information on the biological traits of A. punica, we conducted a series of studies, including of the developmental time of each life history stage, estimation of life table parameters, and predation rates under laboratory conditions [25.1 ± 1.6°C, with 70.5 ± 7.3% RH, and natural light regime, approx. 12:12 (L:D) h]. Developmental stages of A. punica were categorized as follows: egg stage, four larval instars, prepupal instar, pupal instar, and adult. Developmental time from egg to adult emergence averaged 29.41 ± 1.85 days, and 47.6% of the eggs developed to adulthood. Female and male survival was 94.42 and 90 days, respectively. Life table parameters show that one female of A. punica is replaced by 86 females (R ), the intrinsic growth rate (r ) was 0.1115, the average generation time (T) was 40 days, and the doubling time (D ) was 6.2 days. The life table parameters suggest that A. punica can be used as a potential predator of C. multicicatrices and, more importantly, provided baseline information for a mass-rearing protocol. This is the first detailed study on the biology of A. punica that reports the potential of this predator as a biological control agent for scale insects of the tribe Iceryini.
