[EN] Mealybugs (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae) are common invasive pests in Europe,
causing major problems on crops and ornamental plants. However, very few data are
available concerning the mealybug fauna of southern Europe. This lack of data and
the difficulty of identifying mealybugs morphologically by traditional techniques
currently limit the perspectives for efficient specific pest management. The aim of this
study was to provide multi-criterion characterization of mealybugs surveyed in
eastern Spain in order to facilitate their routine identification through DNA
sequencing or the use of derived species-specific molecular tools. We characterised
33 mealybug populations infesting crops and ornamental plants in eastern Spain,
using a combination of molecular and morphological techniques, including the
sequencing of the universal barcode DNA region cytochrome c oxidase subunit I
(COI). This characterisation has led to the identification of ten species and provides
sequence data for three previously unsequenced species, contributing to the
phylogenetic knowledge of the family Pseudococcidae. In addition, the intraspecific
variations found in the populations of five mealybug species provide insight into
their invasion history.

We would like to thank Jean Francois Germain (ANSES Montpellier) for assistance with the morphological identification of some mealybug species. We would also like to thank Dr Douglass Miller and Dr Jan Giliomee for providing the key characters for identifying Delottococcus aberiae populations and for confirming species identification. This work was funded by the grants FP7-IRSES # 269196 'Iprabio', FP7-KBBE 'PURE', Bibliotheque du Vivant and the French Agropolis Fondation (RTRA -Montpellier, BIOFIS project).
