New records of plant pests in New Zealand

Abstract

Four homopterous insect pests, Philaenus spumarius (Linnaeus), Acyrtho‐siphon pisum (Harris), Pulvinaria hydrangeae Steinweden, and Kuwanaspis pseudoleucaspis (Kuwana) are recorded from New Zealand for the first time. The presence of Aulacaspis rosarum Borchsenius, Asiatic rose scale, and Pinnaspis aspidistrae (Signoret), fern scale, is clarified.
