Type. USNM

Distribution. W (Ventura)

Host/habitat. Puto yuccae

Remarks. Noyes (2001) cites Compere (1937) in reporting A. maplei from Brazil, when in fact, Compere (pp. 390, 397–398) records this species only from California. The erroneous mention of Brazil for A. maplei probably stems from the next species treated by Compere, A. brasiliensis (Mercet) (pg. 398).

Type. USNM

Distribution. N (Colusa, Imperial, Los Angeles, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Joaquin, Ventura)

Host/habitat. Phenacoccus solani, P. solenopsis

Remarks. Formicococcus njalensis is not a proven host (see Methods). A series of specimens from Riverside County identified as A. sp. nr. phenacocci was reared from Heliococcus atriplicis (UCRC).
