Etymology. The specific name is a patronym in honor of Prof. San'an Wu from
Beijing
Forestry University; noun in apposition. Prof. Wu is a leading taxonomist in Coccoidea in
China
.
Diagnosis. Males of this new species are similar to
C. medina
(Paquin & Dupérré, 2009: 31, figs 56–57), but can be distinguished by the smooth distal part of tegulum (with deep notch in
C. medina
), RTA without setae (with 5 setae in
C. medina
). Females of this new species are similar to
C. avicularia
Li
,
sp. nov.
(
Figs 64
,
66A–B
), but can be distinguished by the relatively small and undivided BO (large and divided BO in
C. avicularia
Li
,
sp. nov.
), the reniform spermathecae (spherical in
C. avicularia
Li
,
sp. nov.
), and the end of copulatory duct not extending laterally (laterally extending in
C. avicularia
Li
,
sp. nov.
).
