Gigantococcus sulfureus (Lindinger) ; Unruh & Gullan (2008: 37) . Diagnosis (adapted from Lindinger, 1913 ).

Antennae 11 segmented. Setae present all over body. First-instar nymph oval, 1.33–1.50 mm long. Long hair-like setae at posterior abdomen in 2 pairs. Type data. TANZANIA [=GERMAN EAST AFRICA]: Amani , ex Ficus elastica , iii.1907 ( Zimmermann ) . Type material. Syntypes : ad ♀♀ and 1 st -instar nymphs. Type material lost ( ZMB ) . Taxonomic notes. We were unable to examine material of this species. The World Catalogue listed Vayssière (1926) incorrectly as providing a description, illustration and distribution for this species ( Ben-Dov, 2005: 225 ). In fact, Vayssière provided a description, illustration and distribution of I. sulfurea var. pattersoni Newstead , which was elevated later to species rank. Consequently, the World Catalogue cited Vayssière as providing only taxonomy for I. pattersoni ( Ben-Dov, 2005: 204 ) .
