Sex pheromone control strategies are currently being developed for many species. Pseudococcus calceolariae (Maskell) and Pseudococcus longispinus (Targioni Tozzetti) are closely related species that often coexist in the same host plant. In this study, mating behavior, the possible occurrence of asexual reproduction, and hybridization between them were investigated. We confirmed that both species did not show asexual reproduction and required the presence of a male to reproduce. When couples of the same species were put together, males had a highly stereotyped mating behavior, and females showed an active role in mating success by accepting or rejecting males with abdominal movements. In hybridization trials, no progeny was obtained for any of the interspecific combinations. Moreover, in interspecific pairs, males mainly moved randomly in the arena without direct contact with females and females showed no willingness to mate, escape, or not move in the presence of the male. Therefore, courtship and copulation success in both species were directly related to the specificity of the mating pair and, there was no evidence of hybridization. This information is useful for the understanding of reproduction in this family and supports the development of management techniques based on sex pheromones to disrupt reproduction or to monitor these mealybug species populations.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/jisesa\/iead058","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,11]],"date-time":"2023-08-11T11:43:15Z","timestamp":1691754195000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Mating behavior of<i>Pseudococcus calceolariae<\/i>and<i>Pseudococcus longispinus<\/i>(Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae): are asexual reproduction and hybridization possible?"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"23","author":[{"given":"Carolina","family":"Ballesteros","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Facultad de Agronom\u00eda e Ingenier\u00eda Forestal, Pontificia Universidad Cat\u00f3lica de Chile , Avda.
