Popis: Ferrisia virgata (Cockerell, 1893) Dactylopius virgata Cockerell, 1893: 178. PUBLISHED RECORDS IN NEW CALEDONIA. ��� Cohic (1958a). DISTRIBUTION IN NEW CALEDONIA. ��� All over the New Caledonian Archipelago. OTHER RECORDS. ��� Almost cosmopolitan. HOST- PLANTS IN NEW CALEDONIA. ��� Acalypha spp., Annona spp., Ceiba pentandra, Citrus spp., Codiaeum variegatum, Coffea arabica, Euphorbia pulcherrima, Gossypium spp., Lantana camara, Leuceana leucocephala (Cohic 1958a), also found recently on Carica papaya, Mangifera indica, Psidium guajava (Mille 2011). NOTES. ��� Kaydan & Gullan (2012) recently revised the genus Ferrisia Fullaway, 1923 and showed that F. virgata as previously understood was a complex of related species. It is therefore difficult to fully assess the identity of past records (one or more species) for New Caledonia. Regarding the distribution recorded by Kaydan & Gullan (2012), it is reasonable to estimate that F. virgata is present. Some Ferrisia sp. specimens have been recently discovered in the Chesterfield Islands on Boerhavia diffusa and Heliotropium foertherianum (Jourdan & Bourguet 2013). Risbec (1942) considered this species as a very dangerous one, though Cohic (1958a) noted that it was a common species but not harmful. Today, we consider it as an uncommon species on Grande Terre and hence an unimportant pest.
