Introduction
Plumose scale, Morganella longispina (Morgan) was intercepted several times in 1964 on citrus from Haiti by the Division of Plant Industry (Dekle, 1964). Last year this scale insect was collected by the USDA-APHIS on Dodge Island, the port area of Miami. Additional surveys by the Division of Plant Industry located several infestations in the Miami area.
