TL;DR: The males of three additional genera are added to the previous literature on male Ortheziidae, providing significantly better sampling of male morphological variation within this family, and variation among genera confirms the latest classification of Kozár.
Abstract: Because adult male Coccoidea rarely live more than three or four days, they are seldom collected and their morphology has been little studied. Therefore, the systematics of the Coccoidea is dependent on the morphology of the paedomorphic adult female. A good example is the family Ortheziidae, in which the males of only four extant and three fossil taxa are known among more than 200 species. The present work provides descriptions of the male morphology of seven further species: Graminorthezia graminis (Tinsley), Insignorthezia insignis (Browne), Newsteadia americana Morrison, Orthezia annae Cockerell, O. newcomeri Morrison, and Praelongorthezia praelonga (Douglas), as well as another belonging to an undetermined genus. The males of three additional genera are added to the previous literature on male Ortheziidae, providing significantly better sampling of male morphological variation within this family. Variation among genera confirms the latest classification of Kozar, in which Graminorthezia, Ins...

TL;DR: Adult females of nine new species of Newsteadia ortheziids are described and detailed redescriptions are provided for the four species previously known from the Afrotropical Region.
Abstract: Adult females of nine new species of Newsteadia ortheziids are described and detailed redescriptions are provided for the four species previously known from the Afrotropical Region including N. gomyi Richard, N. mauritiana Mamet, N. montana Mamet and N. wacri Strickland. A key is presented for the 13 species known to occur in the area and a detailed discussion is presented on the homology of the wax plates that cover the body of these fascinating scale insects.

TL;DR: Four of them, Newsteadia sussannae, Gueriniella serratulae, Antoninella inaudita, and Chionaspis lepineyi are new records for the scale insect fauna of Greece.
Abstract: Ornamental, greenhouse, cultivated and wild plants were surveyed in 2005 in a study of Coccoidea fauna in Greece. In this study, thirteen species of scale insects belonging to 12 genera of 6 families were identified. Four of them, Newsteadia sussannae, Gueriniella serratulae, Antoninella inaudita, and Chionaspis lepineyi are new records for the scale insect fauna of Greece.

TL;DR: Six new species of Newsteadia are described from the Nearctic and Neotropic Regions and a modified concept of the genus is presented and some new characters are given as diagnostic of the species.
Abstract: Six new species of Newsteadia are described from the Nearctic and Neotropic Regions. A key is presented for the identification of 10 species currently included in the genus from these regions. The number of species in the genus worldwide is 37. A modified concept of the genus is presented and some new characters are given as diagnostic of the genus. The zoogeography of the genus is discussed.

TL;DR: The results of an investigation of scale insects (Hemiptera, Coccoidea) in Klaipėda, Tauragė and Utena counties by the first two authors during July 2008 are presented.
Abstract: The results of an investigation of scale insects (Hemiptera, Coccoidea) in Klaipėda, Tauragė and Utena counties by the first two authors during July 2008 are presented. Additional data from Vilnius county, and Panevėžys and Siauliai cities are also included. Klaipėda is one of the smallest counties in Lithuania yet appears to be particularly diverse in the number of native species of scale insects found there, 19 species representing 70% of the native coccoid fauna were found during four and a half days collecting. Nine species were recorded in Utena and seven in Tauragė counties. Two species are recorded from Lithuania for the first time: Eulecanium douglasi (Sulc) and Newsteadia floccose (De Geer).
