0581: 1 6 2017 Current status of Pseudococcidae (Hemiptera: Coccoidea) in South Korea Ah-Ram Son Plant Quarantine Technology Center/APQA 167, Yongjeon 1-ro, Gimcheon-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do, South Korea 39660 Soo-Jung Suh Incheon International Airport Regional Office/APQA 47 Gonghang-ro, 424 beon-gil, Jung-gu, Incheon, South Korea 22382 suhsj97@gmail.com Abstract. Thirty-one species of mealybugs (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae) are reported from South Korea based upon monitoring surveys conducted from 2010 to 2016, along with a dichotomous key to separate them. Six species, Nipaecoccus nipae (Maskell), Palmicultor lumpurensis (Takahashi), Planococcus citri (Risso), Pseudococcus dendrobiorum Williams, Pseudococcus longispinus (Targioni-Tozzetti), and Pseudococcus orchidicola Takahashi, known only to occur in greenhouses, are considered as adventive mealybug species to South Korea; of these, P. citri has already established in the exterior environment in South Korea. Key Words. Mealybugs, dichotomous key, identification, adventive species. Introduction Mealybugs (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae) comprise some of the most serious pests on various agricultural crops and pose serious problems when introduced into new areas of the world without their natural enemies (Kwon et al. 2003a; Miller et al. 2005). They cause direct injury to plants by depleting the plant sap or by injecting plant toxins. In addition, more evidence has been presented concerning the role of mealybugs as vectors of plant viruses (Williams 2004). Kwon et al. (2003a, b) listed 53 species in 19 genera of mealybugs in the latest catalogue of the mealybugs of the entire Korean Peninsula with characteristics, keys, host plants and distribution based on surveys and previous published records. Their catalogue included 15 species from North Korea reported by Russian entomologists such as Borchsenius (1956), Danzig and Ivanova (1976), and Danzig (1980; 1988) and four species accidentally found in greenhouses on ornamental plants imported into South Korea. Although known only to occur in greenhouses or nurseries in South Korea, mealybugs such as Nipaecoccus nipae (Maskell), Palmicultor lumpurensis (Takahashi), and Pseudococcus longispinus (Targioni-Tozzetti) are of economic significance (Williams 2004), and no comprehensive analysis has been conducted in order to determine if they are adventive or indigenous mealybugs in South Korea. Since then, mealybugs found in greenhouses in South Korea have been cited in papers (Lee 2010; Park 2010; Koo et al. 2017) including a new species, while other species have been synonymized with previously described taxa (Pellizzari and Danzig 2007; García et al. 2017). The purpose of this paper is to provide an updated list of South Korea s mealybug species with an identification key and list adventive mealybug species of South Korea. Materials and Methods Information on the number of mealybug species known to occur in the Korean Peninsula and in all zoogeographic regions was gathered from papers reporting South Korea s mealybugs (Paik 1972, 1978; Paik 2000; Kwon et al. 2002; Kwon et al. 2003a, b; Lee 2010; Lee and Suh 2011; Koo et al. 2017) and ScaleNet (García et al. 2017), a website that includes information on species of scale insects that has been published worldwide. Data from monitoring surveys of exterior environments and nurseries/

2 INSECTA MUNDI 0581, November 2017 SON AND SUH greenhouses during the past seven years (2010 to 2016) was extracted from the Plant Quarantine Integration System (PQIS) database developed by the Animal and Plant Quarantine Agency (APQA). Codes for the zoogeographic regions recognized are as follows: Palaearctic (PA), Oriental (OR), and Australasian (AU). The nomenclature used here for the Pseudococcidae follows that of the ScaleNet database (García et al. 2017). This paper provides a dichotomous key concerning 31 species of mealybugs from South Korea except for six adventives species. But during this project, Crisicoccus coreanus (Kanda) was not collected and we were not able to examine the specimen of this species although it has been documented for the South Korea s fauna of mealybugs. Terminology for the morphological structures used in the key follows that of Williams (2004). Results According to the scale insect database ScaleNet (García et al. 2017), there are 1,980 species of mealybugs worldwide. Based on our review of the literature and survey results, there are 31 species in South Korea which represents 2% of all described species. A dichotomous key to the mealybugs in South Korea is provided below for the correct identification of mealybug species by port identifiers at the various stations of the APQA. As far as we are aware, no mealybug species have been deliberately introduced for biological control into South Korea. Nipaecoccus nipae (Maskell), Palmicultor lumpurensis (Takahashi), Pseudococcus dendrobiorum Williams, Pseudococcus longispinus (Targioni-Tozzetti), and Pseudococcus orchidicola Takahashi have been reported in South Korea in previous papers and should be considered as adventive species considering the fact that they have not been found in exterior environments for the past seven years (Table 1). Planococcus citri (Risso) which is already been established in South Korea causes damage to ornamental plants in greenhouses and is one of most commonly reported mealybugs.

To date six species are considered as adventive mealybug species to South Korea; of these, P. citri is already established in the South Korea s exterior environment. Most adventive mealybugs are usually found on imported

PSEUDOCOCCIDAE IN SOUTH KOREA INSECTA MUNDI 0581, November 2017 5 plants and may get settled into the South Korea s environment, either in greenhouses or outdoor settings. Therefore, preventive measures are required to overcome this challenge. Furthermore, the South Korea s weather is becoming warmer and numerous imported subtropical and tropical crops are being grown in greenhouses. The most effective approach to block the introduction of an adventive species is to identify mealybug species found on commodities entering the country and regularly updating the list of the mealybug species known to occur in South Korea.
