A catalogue of the soft-scale insects of the world (Homoptera: Coccoidea: Cocidae) with data on geographical distribution, host plants, biology and economic importance. This catalogue lists 162 genera comprising 1090 species and subspecies which have been described since Linnaeus (1758) until the cutoff date of December 1991. Extensive data are presented on taxonomy, nomenclature, synonyms, geographical distribution, host plants, biology, and economic importance of the species. New combinations are established for 40 species. One species, namely Filippia subterranea Gomez-Menor Ortega, is newly synonymized with Lecanopsis formicarum Newstead.

Of the natural enemies used in insect pest control, the parasitic Hymenopterahave been the most successful. Within this group, the Encyrtidaeare one of six families that have been employed in this way. In the past 10 years, two species of encyrtids have been used successfully against two severe pests in agriculture in Africa, the cassava mealybug and the mango mealybug. Among the encyrtids, almost all species of the tribe Anagyrini are primary endoparasitoids of mealybugs and are thus of potential importance in biological control. Within this context, recognition of Oriental anagyrini species should greatly facilitate their future use in biocontrol. In this volume, the 20 genera belonging to...
