Hickel, E.R., & Ducroquet, J.P.H.J. 1995 [Scales (Homoptera: Coccoidea) pests of feijoa.]. Anais da Sociedade Entomologica do Brasil 24(3): 665-668.

Notes: A survey on feijoa (Feijoa sellowiana) to collect scales insects was carried out in Videira, SC, during 1990-1991. Species and abundance of scale insects infesting leaves, branches and roots were determined. Chrysomphalus ficus (Ashmead) (Homoptera: Diaspididae) was the dominant and the most injurious species. Ceroplastes grandis Hempel, Ceroplastes sinensis Del Guercio, Coccus hesperidum L., Pseudokermes nitens (Ckll.) (Homoptera: Coccidae), and Eurhizococcus brasiliensis (Hempel) (Homoptera: Margarodidae) were also observed.
