Remarks. Hall (1923) stated that this species (as Pseudococcus bromeliae ) was both a subterranean and an aerial feeder, attacking the roots of sedge. According to Hosny (1939) this species was first found in Egypt on roots of Phoenix sp. in the Royal Gardens of Kubbeh in 1932. Hosny (1939) reported D. bromeliae (a synonym of D. brevipes ) on roots of Asparagus sp. in Ezbet-el-Nakhl and on the roots of Cyperus sp. in Maadi.
