Remarks
- Systematics: This species is near C. artemisiae (Hamon & Kosztarab, 1979).
- Structure: Female test is saclike, broadly oval, with short blunt tube upturned at posterior end. Adult female broadly pyriform, tapering toward caudal end (Kosztarab & Vest, 1966). The adult female of C. deklei is characterised by the following combination of character-states: (i) 8-shaped pores on dorsum in a lattice-like pattern; (ii) 8-shaped pores on dorsum of two sizes, both quite small; (iii) larger pores restricted to near stigmatic pore bands; smaller 8-shaped pores frequent elsewhere on dorsum; (iv) cribriform plates present in a submedial group of 5–16 on each side of abdominal segment IV; (v) tubular ducts of only one size present; (vi) multilocular disc-pores absent on abdominal segments and metathorax, but occasionally present associated with spiracular disc-pores; (vii) stigmatic pore bands bifurcated; (viii) stigmatic pore bands with few spiracular disc-pores, and (ix) leg stubs present. (Hodgson & Williams, 2016)
- Biology: Specimens collected from Croton sp. in the Panama Canal Zone differed slightly than other material by having more multilocular pores and larger cribriform plates (Kosztarab & Vest, 1966). Lambdin & Kosztarab (1977a) report that males and females are found on the same twig or branch, but that the females tend to aggregate in clusters while the males are more irregularly distributed.
- Economic Importance: Kosztarab & Vest (1966) state that this species has been reported as a pest in nurseries on Hibiscus sp. in the Miami area and Dekle (1971) states that it can be spread through commercial nurseries. Dekle (1971) also states the means of chemical control.
- General Remarks: Detailed description and illustration by Kosztarab & Vest (1966). Hamon & Kosztarab (1979) provide a description and illustration of the first instar.
