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).
