Microweisea misella: Gordon 1985: 40 .

This is an extremely small (0.98-1.45 mm long), rounded, dark brown scale insect predator found from southeastern Canada to Florida and Texas west to British Columbia and northern California. Scale prey previously recorded are Lepidosaphes beckii (Newman) View in CoL , Melanaspis obscura (Comstock) View in CoL , Chionaspis pinifolia (Fitch) View in CoL , Pseudaonidia duplex (Cockerell) , and Diaspidiotus perniciosus (Comstock) ( Miller and Davidson 2005) View in CoL .

In 1998 M. misella was laboratory reared from a collection of Putnam scale, Diaspidiotus ancylus (Putnam) (Diaspididae) , new prey record. The original collection was from blueberry at Chatsworth, NJ, Blueberry-Cranberry Experiment Station, on March 28, 1998, by Miller and Davidson.
