The book is a monograph on wax secretion of the scale insects. It is made up of 6 chapters and the emphases are on the research results in the wax secretion of the scale insects in the family of Coccidae (Hemiptera: Coccoidea) by using the scanning electrn microscope (SEM), infrared spectrum (IR) and gas chromatograph/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) by the authors in recent years. The contents include the classification introduction of the superfamily, Coccoidea and the classification systems of the family, Coccidae, the research situation on the wax secretion of scale insects in the world, the biology, morphological development, various wax glands, the form of the wax tests or wax covering, the ultrastructure, infrared spectrum characteristic and the chemical composition of the scale insects of 17 species in 6 subfamilies of Coccidae. The wax secreting characteristics and varieties are found among the species and genera and with their developmental stages and the sex of the scale insects. The infrared spectrum characteristics of the wax secretions are divided into 6 kinds. 104 compounds are determined from the test wax secretions. The natural relationship and systematic significance are showed between the ultrastructure, infrared spectrum characteristic and the chemical composition of the wax secretion. Based on the results, some new ideas and references will be given for developing the new and effective pesticides to control the scale insects, for using the chemical compositions as semichemicals to biological control scale insects by natural enemies, for developing chemical classification and systematics in the scale insect study, and for exploiting the wax of scale insects as biological resources.

 

Most of the information in this monograph are from the first-hand material and the research achievements of the present authors. Some relative new knowledge is also collected from the world. Abundant data and information are included such as the species of scale insects, sample collection method, experiment material treatment and test procedures, 24 tables, 28 morphological figures, 41 ecological and morphological photos, 142 scanning electron microscope photos, 23 infrared spectrograms and 21 gas chromatograms, the chemical structural formula of the 104 compounds of the wax secretion. For exchanging easily, the explanations for all of the tables, figures and photos are give in both Chinese and English.
