Remarks

• Systematics: T. Kondo and L.G. Cook (unpublished data based on a Bayesian phylogenetic analysis of the family Coccidae using DNA sequences based on 18S, 28S and partial CO1 data) and Hodgson and Hardy (unpublished data based on adult male morphology) found the Cardiococcinae to be non-monophyleytic. Species currently included in this family are split into two groups depending on the number of simple eyes. C. major falls within the group with 4 pairs of simple eyes. (Hodgson, 2020)
