Introduction
From the article of Ireneo L. Lit, Jr., Barbara L. Caoili, Merdelyn T. Caasi-Lit, Cristian C. Lucanas, Kristine O. Abenis, Vanessa Kate I. Alvarez, and Romnick A. Latina (2021), p. 175.
The lanzones scale insect, Unaspis mabilis Lit and Barbecho, is the most serious pest of lanzones nowadays. It has been known to be exclusively associated with this fruit crop since its first reported occurrence in 2009. In this paper, however, a new host record is reported for the first time, the high-valued cacao, Theobroma cacao L. Identification utilized the total evidence provided by both morphological details and molecular analyses.
