Remarks

Systematics: Morrison & Morrison (1966) suggested that this species actually might represent Antonina graminis (Maskell, 1897). Williams (2002) noted that there are at least three species of Antonina in India feeding on grasses other than bamboo, and therefore retained C. choromandelensis as an unidentifiable species in the Pseudococcidae.
