Dialox stellatus Keifer, 1962 c

Type host: Cocos nucifera L.

Type locality: Philippines (Guinobatan, Albay)

Plant part: fruit, leaf ( Briones & Sill Jr. 1963)

Remarks: type species of this monospecific genus (Amrine Jr. & de Lillo 2003). Produce star­like masses of whitish wax over the body ( Keifer 1962c; Briones & Sill Jr. 1963). Its possible action as vector of the virus that causes the coconut disease known as “cadang­cadang” in Philippines was investigated, with negative results. Found in small populations, apparently causing no damage ( Briones & Sill Jr. 1963; Moore & Howard 1996).
