Note: This is a serious pest of mango in SE Asia. Maldonado Capriles (1964) noted that I. incertus and I. niveosparsus were very close, "perhaps only a subspecies or an extreme variety". He also noted that I. niveosparsus was "very variable in coloration". He followed with a similar comparison between I. niveosparsus and I. nitidulis, suggesting that all three were subspecies or extreme varieties of the same species, which would give I. nitidulis priority. As the species is of economic importance, he was loath to create a synonymy since I. niveosparsus was so well known in the literature. In 1974, he listed the species of Idioscopus and included all three names separately in the list. Day and Fletcher (1994) accepted Maldonado Capriles (1973) suggested synonymy of the species. |
