The correct generic placement of the African species “ Steatococcus ” hystrix ( Fig. 13 ) therefore requires further research. It is close to Gigantococcus in possessing compound multilocular pores on the body margins and ventral submargins, 11 antennal segments, 3 pairs of abdominal spiracles, 3 circuli and a marsupium, and in lacking open-centre pores. It differs from all other African Iceryini in having numerous thick spiniform setae on the dorsum; in life, the body is evenly covered with soft, loose wax. The species is only known from Mali on Combretum glutinosum (Combretaceae) ( Gavrilov-Zimin & Stekolshikov 2018 ).
