Remarks
- Structure: Body of adult female slightly elongate oval with distinct segmentation, 4.0–7.0 mm long, about 3.0 mm broad and 2.5–3.0 mm thick, reddish to slightly orange. Antennae and legs black to dark brown, well developed in all instars; antennae each with 11 segments. Ovisac cover formed of loose white mealy wax, eggs light reddish, each 0.9 mm long, 0.45 mm wide. (Mendel & Protasov in T. Kondo & G.W. Watson, 2022b)
- Biology: i>Palaeococcus fuscipennis reproduces sexually and is ovoviviparous. Mating occurs soon after emergence of the adult female on the tree trunk. In Central Europe there is only 1 generation per year, but in the Mediterranean region there are two. (Mendel & Protasov in T. Kondo & G.W. Watson, 2022b)
- Economic Importance: Discovered in Israel for the first time in 1991 on Pinus spp. The coccinellid Novius cruentatus and the parasitoid Cryptochaetum jorgepastori were introduced from Spain, and considerable decrease of the pest was achieved (Mendel et al., 1998).
- General Remarks: Description and illustration of adult female and adult male by Burmeister (1835), Westwood (1845), Signoret (1876), Vayssière (1926), Gomez-Menor Ortega (1937) and by Kosztarab & Kozar (1988).
