Remarks
- Systematics: The male of M. hirsutus is typical of the Pseudococcinae except that there are no ventral lobes along the margin of the ventral slit on the penial sheath, In the analysis of Hardy et al. (2008), Maconellicoccus was sister to all of the other genera included in the Pseudococcinae. (Hodgson, 2012)
- Structure: The dermal pores, ducts and wax secretion were studied by Kumar et al. (1997). Zhang et al. (2004) isolated, identified and synthesized two compounds that together constitute the female sex pheromone. Body elongate oval; red-brown to orange-pink; legs and antenna light yellow; body gradually gets covered by white mealy wax, initially forming a dorsomedial line with thick wax which is thicker at the anal end and tappers towards head; later two pairs of thick wax filaments are produced on the margin of posterior abdominal segments; lateral wax filaments cannot be seen but the marginal area produces thin, hazy curly wax filaments which covers marginal area up o head. Ovisac covers dorsal surface. (Joshi, et al., 2021) Occurring on all above-ground parts of plant. Oviparous, eggs pink. Specimens turns black in 70% alcohol.
- Biology: The life history was studied by Ghose (1972a). Causes stunted or malformed stems and leaves and can kill the plant. On Hibiscus this mealybug causes gall-like deformations of the terminal growth characterized by internode shortening, deformed leaves and thickened twigs (Ghose, 1972b; Beardsley, 1985). A female can lay more than 500 eggs at one time. Modes of transport include crawler and egg sack dispersion through wind and by movement, attaching or sticking to animals or transported objects. Nursery plants and trade of infested commodities also lead to its spread. Sometimes, ants that are attracted to its honeydew may act as protectors and movers of PHM. (Halaybeh & Katbeh-Bader, 2010) Maconellicoccus hirsutus (Green), developed equally well on Cucurbita pepo L. and C. maxima (Qin, et al., 2011) Aristizabal, et al., (2012) investigated the relationship between life history (fitness) of M. hirsutus and "bunchy top" symptom development on 3 hibiscus cultivars expected to have high (‘President’), low (‘Double Red’), and intermediate (‘Joanne’) levels of susceptibility. They found no major differences in the response of M. hirsutus among the 3 cultivars in terms of their survival, development rate, size, or oviposition period in laboratory tests at a temperature conducive for mealybug development. In Jordan, adult females appeared in early February with very low numbers, while the most presence of the females occurred in mid July. Males appeared also in early January and then in late July and early August. The highest number of the parasitoid, Anagyrus sp. was reported during February. According to the direction, adults were significantly the highest in North followed by West and South. (Al-Fwaeer, et al., 2014) The high diversity of ants in association with M. hirsutus may be one of the factors that explain the mealybug success in non-native regions.
- Economic Importance: In 1997, the pink hibiscus mealybug has invaded the US Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, St. Kitts, Trinidad, Tobago, Grenada and several other Caribbean islands, where it is damaging coffee, cotton, soybeans, citrus and some other crops (Charlet, 1997; USDA- APHIS Pamphlet, 1997). The introduction of the entomophagous Coccinellid Cryptolaemus montrouzieri and the parasitoid wasp Anagyrus kamali are recommended (Etienne et al., 1998). For 11 sets of interacting species near Madang, Papua New Guinea, coccoids attended by relatively inoffensive ants were more heavily parasitized than those attended by more aggressive ants. This has not been demonstrated previously. Ant exclusion experiments for four of these sets showed that this correlation was due to active protection of the coccoids from both predation and parazitation, though the precise form and effectiveness of this protection differed between different sets of interacting species. (Buckley & Gullan, 1991). When the mutualistic association with ants occurs in places where M. hirsutus is exotic, ants may be more harmful to the whole insect community and their host plants, since the mealybug may be rapidly ‘adopted’ by a native ant with consequent changes in the network of interactions of the ant in the same group of plants. Such a situation appears as extremely sensitive and unstable in agroecosystems where a species as invasive as M. hirsutus not only colonizes rapidly but completely modifies the network of interactions between species already present. Data on the distribution, external appearance, host plants, life cycle, damage and control is available at web site: http://gnv.ifas.ufl.edu/~insect In 2003, M. hirsutus was added to the EPPO A1 action list, and EPPO member countries were recommended to regulate it as a quarantine pest. Susikaran, et al. (2013), found that fish oil products and C. montrouzieri can safely be used for the effective management of pink mealybug in the mulberry ecosystem. Peronti, et al., (2016) observed that ladybeetles may provide some suppression when the pest population is high, but not in lower populations because the beetles require large numbers of mealybugs to survive.
