Development of the First Cytochrome Oxidase I Barcode and Evidence for a Single Haplotype Associated with the Recent United States Invasion of the Pasture Mealybug Heliococcus summervillei (Pseudococcidae, Hemiptera)

2026-08-09

Abstract excerpt

Heliococcus summervillei is an emerging invasive mealybug that causes severe dieback in grasses in pastures and turfgrass landscapes. It is widespread in Australia and has recently been detected across the Caribbean, Mexico, and the United States. Accurate identification of mealybugs is challenging due to cryptic morphology, overlapping diagnostic characters, and limited taxonomic expertise and literature, which m...
