Zusammenfassung:Philephedra tuberculosa n. sp., (Homoptera: Coccidae) (Nakahara and Gill 1985), is a new pest of many ornamentals and tropical fruit trees in Florida (Pena et al., data unpublished). The scale population peaks are found during the months of July-October coinciding with the rainy season in Southern Florida, where relative humidity ranges 80 plus or minus 10%. The fungus Verticillium lecanii (Zimmenn) Viegas, was found throughout most of the Dade Country area during August-October, 1983, infecting scale immature and adult stages.
