Abstract

First instars of the nominal type species of the following diaspidid tribes are described and illustrated: Aspidiotini―Aspidiotus nerii Bouché; Comstockiellini―Comstockiella sabalis (Comstock); Chionaspidini―Chionaspis salicis (Linnaeus); Diaspidini―Diaspis echinocacti (Bouché); Fioriniini―Fiorinia fioriniae (Targioni ― Tozzetti); Lepidosaphidini ― Lepidosaphes ulmi (Linnaeus); Odonaspidini―Odonaspis secreta (Cockerell); Parlatoriini―Parlatoria proteus (Curtis). A key to the tribes based on 1st instars is proposed.
