Oceanaspidiotus araucariae (Adachi & Fullaway, 1953) View in CoL

Octaspidiotus araucariae Adachi & Fullaway, 1953: 89 View in CoL .

PUBLISHED RECORDS IN NEW CALEDONIA. — Cohic (1956); Brun & Chazeau (1986).

DISTRIBUTION IN NEW CALEDONIA. — Precise distribution unknown.

OTHER RECORDS. — Micronesia (Caroline Island), West Indies (Florida, Puerto Rico), Central Pacific ( French Polynesia, Hawaii, Wallis Island).

NOTES. — Reported as a serious pest on Araucaria spp. in Wallis Island ( Cohic 1959c). According to the species association with Araucaria spp. ( Takagi 1984), this is obviously an autochtonous species in New Caledonia rather than introduced as stated by Cohic (1958a). Not common, and no records of it causing significant damage in New Caledonia.
