Remarks
- Systematics: Slide-mounted adult female almost quadrate, with posteriormost segments sclerotized. Anal lobes poorly developed. Antennae each reduced to 2 or 3 segments. Legs absent or sometimes represented by leg apophyses only. (Moghaddam & Watson, 2022)
- Structure: The second-, third-instar larvae and adult female are enclosed in a felted waxy sac, white to yellowish in colour. Adult female body size is almost quadrate in shape, 1.5 to 3 mm in length, dark purple to brown-red. The adult body is easily detached from the waxy sac and does not present lateral wax filaments. The individuals are situated at the crown or nodes of the grass host, near the ground level. The first-instar larvae are mobile, oval, the anterior half body is cream whereas the posterior half body is brown. McKenzie (1967), Parida & Moharana (1982), Nur et al. (1987) and Moharana (1990) reported chromosome number 2n=16. Colour illustration given by McKenzie (1967). Colour photograph given by Kawai (1980).
- Biology: The adult females are parthenogenetic and reproduce ovoviviparously. In Texas, USA the life cycle ranges from 60-70 days, and the mealybug develops five annual generations. Chada & Wood (1960) and Bartlett (1978e) discussed in great details the distribution, host plants, biology, economic importance and control of this pest. The invasive ant S. invicta tends the invasive mealybug Antonina graminis (Maskell) extensively and actively constructs shelters around these insects. (Zhou, et al., 2012)
- Economic Importance: The Rhodes-grass scale has been recorded from a wide range grasses, but severe damage was reported mainly on Rhodes-grass, Chloris gayana. Occasionally it is a pest of sugarcane, Bermuda grass, Cynodon dactylon and St. Augustine grass, Stenotaphrum secundatum. The mealybug infests principally the stem bases and the rhizomes, causing browning and wilting of the grasses (Bartlett, 1978e). Effective reduction of the pest population has been achieved following the introduction of the encyrtid Neodusmetia sangwani (Subba Rao) into Texas, USA. (Dean et al. 1979) and in Israel (Gerson et al. 1975). Chada & Wood (1960) discussed the host range and control of the mealybug. Natural enemies discussed by Bartlett (1978e) and by Moore (1988). In Hawaii it rarely occurs on sugarcane under field condition, and considered of no economic importance (Beardsley, 1960a).
- General Remarks: Description and illustration of adult female by Ferris (1953a), McKenzie (1967), Williams & Watson (1988a), Williams & Granara de Willink (1992), Tang (1992), Williams (2001a) and by Williams (2004a). While identifying this species the user should be aware to the following taxonomic notes. Ferris in Zimmerman (1948) illustrated trilocular pores on the female's dorsum, whereas Ferris (1953a) indicated in the key that these pores are absent. Williams (1958, 1985) pointed out that trilocular pores are present on the dorsum. Good description and illustration of the female second-instar nymph and female third-instar nymph given by Yang & Kosztarab (1967).
