Flanders, S.E. 1945a Coincident infestations of Aonidiella citrina and Coccus hesperidum, a result of ant activity.. Journal of Economic Entomology 38(6): 711-712.

Notes: One tree was banded to prevent ant activity and compared to a nearby tree that remained unbanded. The banded tree showed no live A. citrina specimens, as compared to the unbanded which showed an increased infestation. There were a few specimens of A. aurantii on both trees.
