Epidiaspis leperii (Signoret, 1869) View in CoL

Borg (1919) recorded this species as Epidiaspis piricola del Guercio and reported its presence in crevices and depressions of the bark of plums, peaches, apple and other fruit trees. It was recorded again by Borg (1932) (as Diaspis leperii ) and Saliba (1963) on apple, pear and plum. No Maltese specimens have been seen during the present work.
