''Aspidiotus'' is a genus of armoured scale insects. It includes several agricultural and horticultural pests. ''A. destructor'' was originally blamed for a massive die-off of coconut trees in the Philippines which began about 2009. It has been involved previously in die-offs in Indonesia. In July 2014, following a detailed morphological review, scientists announced that instead ''A. rigidus'', was to blame. ''A. rigidus'' has few natural predators in the Philippines which lead to the surging infestation. ==Species== *''Aspidiotus anningensis'' Tang & Chu, 1983 *''Aspidiotus artus'' Munting, 1971〔 *''Aspidiotus atomarius'' (Hall, 1946)〔 *''Aspidiotus atripileus'' Munting, 1971〔 *''Aspidiotus beilschmiediae'' Takagi, 1969 *''Aspidiotus brachystegiae'' Hall, 1928 *''Aspidiotus capensis'' Newstead, 1917 *''Aspidiotus cerasi'' Fitch, 1857 *''Aspidiotus chamaeropsis'' Signoret, 1869 *''Aspidiotus chinensis'' Kuwana & Muramatsu, 1931 *''Aspidiotus cryptomeriae'' Kuwana, 1902 *''Aspidiotus destructor'' Cockerell in Fernald, 1903 - coconut scale *''Aspidiotus hedericola'' Leonardi, 1920 *''Aspidiotus nerii'' Bouché, 1833 - oleander scale, worldwide distribution, originated in Europe *''Aspidiotus taiyuanensis'' (Feng, 2011) *''Aspidiotus zizyphi'' Hall, 1929 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Aspidiotus」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
