Abd El-Kareim, A.I., Darvas, B., & Kozár, F. 1988 Effects of the juvenoids fenoxycarb, hydroprene, kinoprene and methoprene on first instar larvae of Epidiaspis leperii Sign. (Hom., Diaspididae) and on its ectoparasitoid, Aphytis mytilaspidis (Le Baron) (Hym., Aphelinidae).. Journal of Applied Entomology 106: 270-275.

Notes: Summary/abstract in: German. Abstract: Rate of parasitization not affected by lower concentrations of juvenoids, but at higher concentrations they decreased parasitism; first instar larvae are the most sensitive; also more effective against male armored scale insects than females; examples given of effects on Planococcus citri, Epidiaspis leperii, Aonidiella aurantii, Carulaspis juniperi, Unaspis euonymi, Aspidiotus nerii, Chrysomales (Chrysomphalus ?) aonidum, Quadraspidiotus perniciosus & Parthenolecanium corni. Keywords: biological control.
