Establishment and host records of Icerya aegyptiaca (Douglas) (Hemiptera: Coccoidea: Monophlebidae) in the Sakishima Islands of the Ryukyu Archipelago, Japan, with notes on its worldwide distribution

Abstract: The monophlebid scale insect Icerya aegyptiaca is reported for the first time in the Ryukyu Islands of Japan, where it was found in four islands: Kurima Island, Kuro Island, Miyako Island and Yonaguni Island. Icerya aegyptiaca was collected from 36 plant species belonging to 23 families. Information on the distribution and natural enemies of I. aegyptiaca and a key to separate known species of Icerya occurring in Japan are provided.

“…From the geographical distribution map of I. aegyptiaca (Figure 5), the potential distribution area concentrated between 35 • S-35 • N, which is the distribution characteristics of most insects according to latitude zones, while the distribution of I. purchasi did not have this characteristic. We can also see that Asia was the origin of I. aegyptiaca [22] and the region with the largest number of highly habitat suitability areas, suggesting Asia would be more suitable for its survival. South America, North America and Oceania had no records of the existence of the scale insects but would have a large portion of suitable areas.…”

“…Scale insects are found on various types of fruit trees and ornamental plants, and greatly harm crop yield 2 . Icerya aegyptiaca (Douglas) is a highly polyphagous and widespread scale insect, and it is known to feed on 123 species of plants belonging to 49 plant families 3 . Adult females usually remain stationary on the host plant, continuously secreting honeydew and causing sooty patches that inhibit photosynthesis and, 4 in severe cases, lead to plant death 5 .…”

“…Most species of the family Monophlebidae being relatively polyphagous (Ben-Dov, 2005). Some iceryine species when introduced to new areas without their adapted natural enemies could proliferate and become serious plant pests (Kondo et al, 2016), for example, Icerya aegyptiaca (Douglas) in the Ryukyu Islands (Japan) (Uesato et al, 2011). Icerya purchasi Maskell has been introduced into other parts of the world through global trade in California (USA) on Acacia plants around 1868 or 1869 (Kollár et al, 2016).…”
