The Incidence of a Fungal Parasite of Scale-insects in New Zealand
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 10 July 2009
Extract
Aegerita webberi, Fawcett, is a very interesting parasitic fungus which has been recorded as attacking Aleyrodes citri in Florida, Aleyrodes and Aspidiotus in Ceylon, and an undetermined scale in New Zealand, and of which our knowledge has been recently summarised by Petch.* He notes that on the characters of the seal-brown sterile stromata it appeared probable that the forms from the three localities represented three species, but the sporodochia are identical in all, and they must therefore all be referred to A. webberi.
