Relationships among felt scale insects (Hemiptera : Coccoidea : Eriococcidae) of southern beech, Nothofagus (Nothofagaceae), with the first descriptions of Australian species of the Nothofagus-feeding genus Madarococcus Hoy

We gratefully acknowledge the contributions to Australian entomology made by the late Jack Beardsley, who collected specimens of each of the six Australian species described in this paper. We thank Cathy Young (Department of Primary Industries and Water, Tasmania) and Jane Keble-Williams (University of Tasmania) for the loan of Tasmanian eriococcids from Nothofagus. Dug Miller kindly provided information on the USNM holdings of Maskell specimens and arranged the loan of some type specimens. Jon Martin arranged the loan of and provided some information on BMNH specimens of Madarococcus. David Morris kindly provided sequence data for one collection. Many people assisted this research by collecting specimens. We especially thank Nicholas Martin who provided many eriococcid specimens to NZAC, Mike Crisp and David Morris for collecting galls on Nothofagus in Australia, and Demian Kondo for collecting the Chilean specimens used for the DNA work. We acknowledge the Chilean National Forests Corporation (CONAF) for collecting permits (held by PJG in 1996, E. Arias in 2003, T. Kondo in 2006). The Australian National Botanic Gardens (ANBG), Canberra, allowed PJG to collect scale insects and Stuart Donaldson (ANBG) provided assistance. Peter Cranston accompanied PJG on many field trips to collect Nothofagus-feeding eriococcids and Robert Hoare assisted PJG with fieldwork in New Zealand. Graeme Henderson accompanied RCH on field trips to collect scale insects in New Zealand. The following agencies/departments also provided collecting permits to PJG, LGC, RCH and their collaborators: the former Department of Parks, Wildlife and Heritage, and the current Department of Primary Industries and Water, Tasmania; New South Wales National Parks and Wildlife Service; State Forests of New South Wales; and the Department of Conservation, New Zealand. This work was supported by an Australian Biological Resources Study grant (1995–1998) to PJG; a National Science Foundation PEET grant (DEB-0118718) and by Hatch funding from the California Agricultural Experiment Station to PJG; the Foundation for Research, Science and Technology, New Zealand, under contract CO9X0501 to RCH; and an ARC Discovery Project grant to LGC.

Appendix 1.  Collection data, museum depositories and GenBank accession numbers for specimens of species included in the molecular and morphological phylogenetic analyses
The specimen codes allow nucleotide sequences to be matched to slide-mounted voucher specimens in the depositories (see ‘Materials and Methods’ for names of depositories). In the ‘Host’ column, the first cell for each Madarococcus species lists all known host species; full host ranges are not given for outgroups. The ‘Morphology’ column specifies which specimens were used for the phylogenetic analysis of morphological data; c, crawler; e, embryo; f, adult female.
