The Introduction and Establishment of Anaphes (Patasson) calendrae (Gahan) in Hawaii (Hymenoptera: Mymaridae)
Scientific noteThe history of introductions of the mymarid egg parasitoid Anaphes (Patasson) calendrae (Gahan) into Hawaii for biological control of sphenophorine weevils (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) is reviewed, and its establishment on the islands of Oahu, Maui and Hawaii is documented
On the Taxonomy of Pineapple Mealybugs in Hawaii, with a Description of a Previously Unnamed Species (Homoptera: Pseudococcidae)
On the Taxonomy of the Genus Pseudopsylla Froggatt, with a Redescription of the Type-Species (Homoptera: Coccoidea)
The history of the genus Pseudopsylla Froggatt and the rediscovery of the type specimens of P. hirsutus Froggatt, the type species, are discussed. Pseudopsylla is placed as a junior synonym of Lachnodius Maskell on the basis of the morphological and biological similarities between the type species of these genera which are enumerated. Froggatt's species is redescribed and illustrated from the type specimens as a new combination, Lachnodius hirsutus (Froggatt), and a lectotype is designated
Parasites Associated with the Leucaena Psyllid, Heteropsylla cubana Crawford, in Hawaii
Four species of parasitoid Hymenoptera have been reared from the Leucaena psyllid, Heteropsylla cubana Crawford, in Hawaii. In addition to the purposely introduced primary parasite Psyllaephagus yaseeni Noyes (Encyrtidae), three species of hyperparasites have been reared. These are a pteromalid, Pachyneuron siphonophorae (Ashmead), and two encyrtids, Syrphophagus aphidivorus (Mayr) and Syrphophagus sp. A key to parasitoids reared from H. cubana in Hawaii is presented
