Introduced scale insects (Hemiptera: Coccoidea) of the United States and their impact on U.S. Agriculture
Proceedings of the Entomological Society of Washington 107 (1), 123-158
Abstract: We provide information on 255 species of scale insects that are considered adventive or introduced in the United States. Included for each species, where applicable, is reference to: the state and earliest collection date in which the invader was first discovered; whether it is currently established in the United States; its pest status in the United States along with a validation citation; its principal hosts; and its zoogeographical region of origin. Information is provided about trends of pest introductions and on native scale-insect pests in the United States.
