Almost all the most important insect pests ofCitrusin California are Coccids not native to the State, and biological control has been attempted on a large scale. Numerous Hymenopterous parasites have been introduced against them in the last 50 years, and CoccushesperidumL.,Saissetia nigra(Nietn.) andPseudococcus gahani[Pseudococcus calceolariae]Green are now commercially controlled byMetaphycus luteolus(Timb.), M.helvolus(Comp.) andTetracnemus pretiosusTimb., respectively, throughout California, andIcerya purchasiMask.,Planococcus (Pseudococcus) citri(Risso),Pseudococcus adonidum(L.),Aonidiella citrina(Coq.),A. aumntii(Mask.) andS. oleae(Bern.) byCryptodictum iceryae(Will.),Leptomastidea abnormis(Gir.),Anarhopus sydneyensisTimb.,Comperiella bifasciataHow.,Aphytis chrysomphali(Merc.) and M.helvolus, respectively, in certain areas.The rearing of numerous introduced parasitic Hyrnenoptera on various species of scales and mealybugs in 1924-52 indicated that Coceids vary greatly in susceptibility to different species of parasites. In any particular environment, parasites and Coccids may be in equilibrium, although this may not result in commercial control, but parasitism may be only occasional if the host does not usually stimulate oviposition by the parasite, physiologically incomplete if the host stimulates maximum oviposition but causea a high mortality of the immature stages of the parasite, or ecologically incomplete if the parasite does not attack a highly suitable host in all the habitats in which both are present. Examples are given of species exhibiting the three types of incomplete parasitism ofAonidietta aurantiiand of ecologically incomplete parasitism of other scales and mealybugs.
