Abstract

Planococcus citri (Risso, 1813) and Planococcus ficus (Signoret, 1875) (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae) are important polyphagous pests species. Their high degree of morphological similarity in male and larval stage makes them difficult to distinguish. The aim of the study was to find a simple and fast PCR-based method to separate these two mealybug species. Thanks to the use of a short DNA extraction method and species-specific primer pairs, P. citri and P. ficus can be distinguished at any developmental stages within three hours.
