Odonaspis saccharicaulis (Zehntner) (Hemiptera: Coccoidea: Diaspididae): Erroneous Records and First Field Collections in Hawaii

Abstract

In 2012, two separate collections of sugar cane–infesting diaspidids on the islands of Oahu and Maui were identified as Odonaspis saccharicaulis. A subsequent status check revealed that establishment of this particular species in Hawaii was questionable, prompting a further investigation of this and other records of Odonaspis species in Hawaii.
