The Coccidae

This text presents an up-to-date account of the soft-scale insects, "Coccidae", and covers almost the entire spectrum of the knowledge of this insect family. It is divided into three sections, covering: soft scale insects; their natural enemies; and damage and control.

This annotated bibliography of the Coccoidea, or scale insects, has been prepared as a reference base to be used in further treatment, primarily in catalog form, of the information that has been published on the classification of the group. No general bibliography covering coccid literature has been published since 1868, and the last comprehensive catalog appeared more than fifty years ago.
