GONZALEZ, Caridad et al. Lepidosaphes gloverii (Hemiptera: Diaspididae): biological and ecological studies on citrus from Cuba. Rev. Soc. Entomol. Argent. [online]. 2005, vol.64, n.1-2, pp.26-28. ISSN 0373-5680.
The spatial and temporal distribution of Lepidosaphes gloverii (Pack.) and its natural enemies were studied on Valencia orange in Cuba. Shoots were examined at each cardinal point in three strata of the trees. L. gloverii developmental stages were counted on both upper and lower leaf surfaces and the incidence of biological agents was registered. The biology of L. gloverii was studied on citrus nursery of Persian lime, Eureka lemon and Valencia orange. A complex of parasitoids, predators and pathogens was found, which differed among microhabitats. Populations were aggregated, and densities were higher at the northwest of the grove, at the north of the tree, in the middle part of a shoot and on the upper leaf surface.
