PUBLISHED RECORDS IN
NEW CALEDONIA
. —
Brun & Chazeau (1980
,
1986
).
OTHER RECORDS. —
Haiti
,
Puerto Rico
&
Vieques
Island,
Turks and Caicos Islands
(Ben-Dov 2012a).
NOTES. — In previous
New Caledonia
catalogues (
Brun & Chazeau 1980
,
1986
),
Pseudococcus filamentosus
was included but
Cohic (1958a)
had already stated that it was a misidentification of
N. vastator
(Maskell)
, a former synonym of
N. viridis
, which was also used in several publications (
Cohic 1958a
;
Brun & Chazeau 1980
,
1986
). More recently,
Williams & Watson (1990: 124)
noted that all records of “
N. filamentosus
” from the Pacific region are misidentifications of
N. viridis
;
N. filamentosus
is a species known only from the West Indies and Central America. Additionally, Ben-Dov (2012a) does not record this taxon from
New Caledonia
, so this species must be removed from the New Caledonian records.

Coccoidea

; Fiji and Hawaii after D.J. Williams pers. comm. 3rd August 2012; French Polynesia after
Hammes & Putoa 1986
