PARLATORIA
CAMELLIAE Comstock DETECTION ON CAMELLIA IN GALICIA
In 2007 a new scale insect
species was added to the high diversity of species present in Galicia belonging
to this super-family. This species is Parlatoria camelliae, diaspine
with purple females and oval shields, flat shape and white-greyish to brown
coloration. So far, apart from the detection of the pest, no damage was
observed on the colonized species. This species impedes plant organ respiration
due to the shields and for the emission of a toxic saliva for the
plant
