Diagnosis. Spiniform setae rare, with a large base. Rounded anal lobes cover the anal area. Biological data. Pollinia pollini does not produce pits on the host plant. Found under dead specimens of Saissetia oleae (Olivier) ( Hemiptera : Coccidae ). Cucchi and Becerra (2015) speculate that this could be for protection against parasitoids. Comments. The common name is ornate olive scale. It mainly affects olive, Olea europaea L. ( Oleaceae ) but was also found on fig, Ficus carica L. ( Moraceae ) ( García Morales et al. 2016 ). In Argentina , it is found in Córdoba, La Rioja , Mendoza , and San Juan ( Cucchi and Becerra 2015 ).
