INSECTS INJURIOUS TO AGRICULTURE IN JAPAN

more particularly with the species occurring in Taiwan and Chosen. 

 Nitobe {133) lists 105 species attacking citrus in Taiwan, while in a 

 recent publication Miyoshi (100) records a total of 154 species upon 

 these hosts in the main islands of Japan. 



In Japan the species of general distribution which may be con- 

 sidered as major pests are Melanauster chinensis, Ceroplastes rub ens 

 (8, 66, 17 If), Prontaspis yanonensis (66), and Phyllocnistis citrella. 

 Dacus tsuneonis, Partcotoria pergandii, and Aleurocanthus spiniferus 

 are of importance in limited areas. In Taiwan the principal species 

 are M. chinensis, C haetodactos fernvginews var. dorsalis, P. citrella, 

 Lepidosaphes gloverii, P. pergandii, and Diaphorina citri. 



It is worthy of note in this connection that the major pests of citrus 

 in the more tropical sections of the Far East, particularly in India 

 and the Malay Peninsula, are the coleopterous borers (Buprestidae 

 and Cerambycidae) rather than the scale insects, which play such a 

 dominant role in the United States.
