Shimin Wang; 5 ♀♀ , Puer, on Artocarpus heterophyllus (Moraceae) , 22.viii.2013 , coll. Shimin Wang. Distribution in China . Hong Kong ( Martin & Lau 2011 ), Yunnan . Host-plants. Alstonia scholaris (Apocynaceae) , Artocarpus heterophyllus (Moraceae) , Melicope pteleifolia (Rutaceae) . Biology. Adult females occur on the twigs of the host. Remarks. Ceroplastes murrayi was identified by comparison with the description and illustration in Williams & Watson (1990) . In China , the species is closest to C. magnificus , but in C. murrayi the anal process is long and slender, about one-half as long as the body, and stigmatic setae are of one type , bullet-like; whereas in C. magnificus the anal process is short, not more than one-third the length of the body, and the stigmatic setae are of two types , bullet-like and hemispherical. In addition, their wax covers differ, that of C. magnificus having semi-transparent wax and lacking lateral filamentous rays, whereas C. murrayi has no transparent milky white wet wax, and has 4 long lateral filaments. The adult female wax cover of C. murrayi is very similar to that of C. feltyi Hodges (2002) from America, but C. murrayi has 7-segmented antennae, and 20–25 marginal setae between the stigmatic clefts on each side; whereas C. feltyi has 6-segmented antennae and only 3 or 4 marginal setae between the stigmatic clefts on each side.
