A checklist of scale insects of Slovenia

GABRIJEL SELJAK*

ABSTRACT

The last list of scale insects of Slovenia was compiled by Franc Janežič (1954) and included 44 species. On the basis of data gathered from the literature and from our own faunistic re-searches, a new list of scale insects recorded from or found in the territory of Slovenia is pre-sented. Altogether 101 species from 9 families are listed here: Ortheziidae (1 species), Marga-rodidae (1 species), Pseudococcidae (18 species), Eriococcidae (8 species), Asterolecaniidae (2 species), Coccidae (26 species), Kermesidae (1 species), Cerococcidae (1 species) and Diaspi-didae (43 species). Eighteen are new to the fauna of Slovenia. KEYWORDS: Hemiptera, Coccoidea, checklist, Slovenia.

Introduction In Slovenia the scale insect fauna has not been systematically studied so far. In addi-tion, older records on scale insects with refe-rence to Austro-Hungarian monarchy and partly also to former Yugoslavia, of which Slovenia was part, have to be applied with care due to the immense geopolitical changes in the last 100 years. Faunistic data are usually greatly generalized in these works and the exact distribution range de-limitation may be quite unreliable or even impossible. To avoid unnecessary mistakes, a more conservative approach is followed in this work. Only those records considered to unambiguously refer to the territory of pre-sent-day Slovenia are included. Lindinger (1912) e.g. recorded only one such species, that is Parthenolecanium corni.

The most comprehensive overview of the scale insect fauna of Slovenia was produced by Franc Janežič (1954) who listed 44 spe-cies. Unfortunately, the collection from

which this list was made does not exist. Either it was not prepared by the author or has since been lost. A particularly important contribution to the knowledge of scale insect fauna of Slovenia was later made by Ferenc Kozár (1983). In his work on scale insects of the former Yugoslavia, he recorded 40 species that were collected in the territory of Slove-nia. Twenty-two of these were new to the fauna of Slovenia at that time and two were even new to the science. This later list is also well documented in the collection of the Plant Protection Institute in Budapest - Hun-gary (PPIB) (Kozár 1983). In addition, Bachmann (1955) described a new Diaspi-didae species, Diaspidiotus slovenicus, from the present territory of Slovenia, but this proved to be a junior synonym of D. distinctus (Leonardi, 1900) (Danzig and Pellizzari 1998). The type locality of this species, “Opatje selo”, is situated near the Slovene-Italian border and was erroneously inter-preted by Danzig and Pellizzari (1998) as

100 ENTOMOLOGIA HELLENICA 19 (2010): 99-113 Opatija, which is, however, a village at the Adriatic coast in Croatia.

In papers of some earlier scale insect re-searchers from the former Yugoslavia, such as Bachmann (1953), Schmidt (1956 and 1976) and Žak-Ogaza (1967), there are no records from the territory of Slovenia. Re-cords in Kosztarab and Kozár (1988) with reference to former Yugoslavia cannot be applied to the coccid fauna of Slovenia, be-cause only generalized faunistic data are given. Nevertheless, these records give a good indication of what scale insect diversity might be expected in this territory.

Recently, much attention has been paid to the alien scale insects that have been intro-duced or have spread into Slovenia in recent times (Seljak 1995, Jančar et al. 1999, Seljak 2001, Seljak 2007). However, a complete check list of scale insects known to occur in Slovenia has not been published so far.

Materials and Methods The list of scale insects of Slovenia given below is based on records from the available literature (Lindinger 1912, Janežič 1954, Kozár 1983, Janežič 1989, Seljak 2007) and our own faunistic studies in the previous decade. For species collected or studied by the author, permanent slides mounted in Canada balsam were prepared. Permanent slides are deposited in the collection of Agri-cultural and Forestry Service Nova Gorica, Slovenia (SIC-GO). Nomenclature and taxo-nomy of scale insects in this work follows the ScaleNet database updated on December 1, 2009 (Ben-Dov et al. 2009), except the genus Pulvinaria s.l., where the genus concept in Hodgson (1994) has been followed. In the list of species, only those host plants are listed on which the associated scale insect species were found or recorded in Slovenia.

Results and Discussion

Currently a total of 101 scale insect species are known to occur in the territory of Slove-nia (Table 1). They belong to 61 genera and 9 families: Ortheziidae (1 species), Marga-rodidae (1 species), Pseudococcidae (18 species), Eriococcidae (8 species), Asterole-caniidae (2 species), Coccidae (26 species), Kermesidae (1 species), Cerococcidae (1 species) and Diaspididae (43 species). Eighteen are new to the fauna of Slovenia and their occurrence in Slovenia has not been previously published. One third of the listed species can be considered as alien species, hence introduced or spread by man’s activities into Slovenia in the past. Some of them (e.g. Diaspidiotus pernici-osus, Pseudaulacaspis pentagona, Cero-plastes japonicus, Neopulvinaria innume-rabilis, Eupulvinaria hydrangea and Saisse-tia oleae) have become serious pests of culti-vated plants and have had an important impact on the national agriculture economy (Seljak 2007, Seljak and Žežlina 2007). Half of the species listed below belong to the indige-nous coccid fauna. More or less they are widely distributed throughout Central Europe as well. Nevertheless, at least sixteen of the listed species have temperate distribu-tion and are true members of Mediterranean coccid fauna (Pseudococcidae: Antonina purpurea, Chaetococcus phragmitis, Plano-coccus ficus, Trionymus cynodontis; Erio-coccidae: Eriococcus cynodontis, E. eveli-nae, E. istriensis; Coccidae: Filippia follicu-laris, Saissetia oleae; Diaspididae: Aonidia lauri, Aspidiotus nerii, Diaspidiotus distinctus, D. labiatarum, Epidiaspis gennadii, Lepi-dosaphes flava, Parlatoria oleae). The distri-bution range of almost all of these species is limited to the southwestern submediterra-nean region of Slovenia. This area belongs in the northern most

SELJAK: Scale insects of Slovenia 111

part of the east Adriatic zoogeographical eco-zone, which is well-known to be particu-larly rich in endemic species. Eriococcus evelinae and E. istriensis are two representa-tives of this richness. Even more, so far E. istriensis is only known from the type locality Lipica a village in South-west Slovenia.

Our knowledge of scale-insect fauna of Slovenia is still very fragmentary. Species inhabiting trees, shrubs and ornamental plants have been studied quite a lot, but those living on wild herbaceous plants and especially on its hypogeal parts remain almost unexplored. These species have been little collected and studied so far.

The number of species known to occur in Slovenia is considerably lower than in the surrounding countries, except in Austria: Italy - 360, Austria - 78, Hungary - 204 spe-cies (source: ScaleNet statistics) and Croatia - 132 species (Masten Milek and Šimala 2008). This is in part the result of unequal study intensity of scale insect fauna in these countries, and in part because of the increasing species richness and diversity toward the South- and South-east Europe. Slovenia is a transitional country, where at least four main phyto- and zoo-geographical regions with specific flora and fauna meet - the alpine, dinnaric, submediterranean and pannonian region. This amazing heterogeneity in a re-stricted area of about 20,000 square kilo-metres promises a variegated diversity of scale insect fauna as well, which, however, in a great part needs still to be explored.

ΠΕΡΙΛΗΨΗ

Η τελευταία φορά που παρουσιάστηκε ένας κατάλογος κοκκοειδών εντόμων που απαντώνται στη Σλοβενία ήταν από τον Franc Janežič (1954) και περιελάμβανε 44 είδη. Με βάση τα στοι-χεία που συλλέχθηκαν από τη βιβλιογραφία και από δικές μας έρευνες, παρουσιάζεται ένας νέος ενημερωμένος κατάλογος κοκκοειδών εντόμων που απαντώνται στην Σλοβενία. Συνολικά 101 είδη από 9 οικογένειες παρουσιάζονται στον νέο κατάλογο: Ortheziidae (1 είδος), Marga-rodidae (1 είδος), Pseudococcidae (18 είδη), Eriococcidae (8 είδη), Asterolecaniidae (2 είδη), Coccidae (26 είδη), Kermesidae (1 είδος), Cerococcidae (1 είδος) and Diaspididae (43 είδη). Δεκαοχτώ είδη είναι νέα για την εντομολογική πανίδα της Σλοβενίας.
