Sphaerolecanium prunastri (Boyer de Fonscolombe, 1834) View in CoL

Borg (1922a: 357) mentioned a species of Lecanium , probably L. prunastri , as common on plums and apricots in local orchards. Since this record was not mentioned in his subsequent work ( Borg, 1932), and S. prunastri has not been collected in the Maltese Islands since, it is here excluded from the Maltese scale insect fauna.
