Phenacoccus
Cockerell
We have examined several species of
Phenacoccus
(listed in Table 1) including the
type
species,
Ph
. aceris
, with particular emphasis on those species with more than two setae in the cerarii.
Diagnosis of adult female.
Eye height usually shorter than first antennal segment; antennae usually with 8 or 9 segments, but sometimes with as few as 6; 0–2 antennal intersegmental sensilla present between segments VI– VII, absent between segments III–IV, IV–V; 2 campaniform sensilla on each surface of each trochanter; claw lacking basal spurs; claw digitules capitate but tarsal digitules simple; 18 or fewer pairs of cerarii; tubular ducts usually absent on frons; trilocular pores on venter smaller than those on dorsum, dorsal and cerarian pores approximately equal in size; quinquelocular pores usually present.
First-instar nymph:
6-segmented antennae; multilocular pores with>5 loculi absent.
Adult male
: head with one pair of dorsal and one pair of ventral simple eyes plus lateral ocelli; 2 pairs of lateral filaments on posterior abdominal segments (each filament from glandular pouch on each side of abdominal segments VII and VIII); penial sheath apparently 2-segmented, apex of aedeagus simple and slightly rounded or pointed (
