Borg (1919) recorded this species (as Aspidiotus rapax ), as having “appeared in Malta quite recently on some vegetable marrow, in the vicinity of Ħamrun, and was probably imported from Sicily”. Recorded also by Farrugia (1998) and Haber & Mifsud (2007); the latter reported large numbers of this scale on the stems of olives.

Material examined: MALTA, Rabat, 12.iii.1994, 7 ♀♀ on Euonymus sp. , CC .
