Notes: These are predators of mealybug pests such as Pseudococcus longispinus, P. calceolariae and P. affinis; all three are probably Australian; not an economic problem unless the natural enemies presumed to be controlling their populations are disrupted by pesticides; thus Australia is an appropriate place to search for organisms for introduction into New Zealand as biological control agents; other pest coccoid species which have natural enemies within the Moranilini are: Phenacoccus graminicola, Planococcus citri, Icerya purchasi and Saissetia oleae.
