Remarks

• Systematics: urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act:86F500BF-88D0-44F0-AE47-F4E76687E9AB Adult females of C. heckrothi can be distinguished from all the other species of Coccus known from Macaranga by having the combination of (i) anal plates each with 12–23 dorsal setae, each seta 18–25 μm long; (ii) short, slender dorsal setae, each mostly 10–15 μm long and tapering to apex; and (iii) marginal setae in a single row and with each seta sharply spinose, mostly 20–40 μm long and rarely with apex fimbriate or bifurcate. The adult females of C. heckrothi are most similar to those of C. penangensis in the number of dorsal setae on each anal plate (11–23 in C. penangensis) and in having short and slender dorsal body setae (mostly <20 μm long in C. penangensis), but differ in that the marginal setae of C. heckrothi mostly have sharply pointed apices (mostly bifurcate or fimbriate in C. penangensis) and the lateral stigmatic setae are mostly >15 μm (usually <15 μm long in C. penangensis). (Gullan, et al., 2018)
• Structure: Adult female body elongate oval, 1.9–3.5 (holotype 1.9) mm long, 1.4–2.9 (holotype 1.4) mm wide. (Gullan, et al., 2018)
• General Remarks: Detailed description and illustration in Gullan, et al., 2018.
