Sphaerolecanium prunastri (Boyer de Fonscolombe, 1834)

Borg (1922a: 357) mentioned a species of Lecanium, probably L. prunastri, as common on plums and apricots in local orchards. Since this record was not mentioned in his subsequent work (Borg, 1932), and S. prunastri has not been collected in the Maltese Islands since, it is here excluded from the Maltese scale insect fauna.
