. By original designation and monotypy.
This genus belongs to the Saissetiini (Coccinae) (
Hodgson, 1994
) and has four species, two from
Brazil
and two from
Argentina
(Granara de Willink, 2006). The
type
species was described based on specimens from
Eugenia jaboticaba
(Myrtaceae)
collected in
Brazil
. The new species, described below, shares the following features with
S. ornatum
(Hempel)
, the
type
species of the genus: (1) dorsal pores arranged in a reticulated pattern; (2) marginal setae numerous; (3) ventral tubular ducts of two or more
types
in a submarginal band; (4) legs with tibio-tarsal scleroses; (5) spiracular pores with 5-loculi; (6) perivulvar pores with 10 loculi, present on mid areas of all abdominal segments; and (7) antennae 8 segmented.
The species differs from
S. ornatum
by the following combination of features (character states of
S. ornatum
in parentheses, taken from
Hodgson (1994))
: (1) cribriform plates absent (present), (2) stigmatic spine differentiated from marginal setae (not differentiated), (3) marginal setae of 2
types
, i.e., bluntly spinose with knobbed apex, and sharply spinose (marginal setae very long and setose, with a flagellate apex), (4) ventral tubular ducts of 2
types
(3
types
), and (5) perivulvar pores absent from area mesad to each prothoracic coxa and near antennae (present mesad to each prothoracic coxa and with a single pore near each antenna).
