Parthenolecanium persicae (Fabricius, 1776)

Borg’s (1919) record of Lecanium nigrofasciatum Pergande was a misidentification of P. persicae (Ben-Dov et al., 2014) . Borg (1932) recorded it (as Eulecanium persicae) as rare in Malta, on peaches and nectarine at Attard, Lija, Birkirkara, Sliema and other non-specified localities.

Material examined: MALTA, Rabat, 13.vi.1994, 2 ♀♀ on Morus sp., JI; Qawra , 16.ii.2012, 5 ♀♀ on unidentified Fabaceae, CM.
