Abstract
In recent years, an increase abundance and harmfulness of the San José scale (Comstockaspis perniciosa (Comstock, 1881) has been reported from many European countries. In Poland, C. perniciosa was not observed after 1948–1949, when it was first collected, until it was found again in 2015. It is considered as the most serious pest infecting many different species of plants worldwide. Basic diagnostic information for the San José scale and the key to identify similar diaspidid species recorded in Poland is provided. Current knowledge regarding the biology, host plants, distribution, and control, as well as information regarding the life cycle of C. perniciosa in Poland is summarized.
期刊介绍:
The Polish Journal of Entomology was founded in 1922 as a periodical of the Polish Entomological Society under the title Polskie Pismo Entomologiczne (subtitle Bulletin Entomologique de Pologne). The journal publishes original research papers and reviews from any entomological discipline. The Polish Journal of Entomology is sponsored by the Polish Entomological Society and the Ministry of Science and Higher Education. It deals with all aspects of entomology and has no geographical limits. Four issues of the journal are published annually. It is covered by the Zoological Record, Entomological Abstracts, Biological Abstracts. Each article has its own DOI
