Remarks
- Systematics: urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act:CBBDC76D-0BBC-4E83-86C3-9BB452F41D79 The adult female of C. lambirensis can be distinguished from all other species of Coccus found on Macaranga by its possession of numerous marginal setae in two rows and its long flagellate dorsal setae, each mostly 40–80 μm long, that are longer than the dorsal setae of all other Macaranga coccids. Although adult females of C. pseudotumuliferus and C. tumuliferus group can have marginal setae in two rows, these two species have very short dorsal setae, each of about the same length as the diameter of its setal socket. In addition, in C. lambirensis, each dorsal areolation (clear area with microduct at centre) is situated on an irregularly shaped polygonal area with the abutting polygonal areas giving a cellular appearance to the derm, whereas in other species of Coccus from Macaranga the dorsal areolations are situated on uniform derm.
- Structure: Slide mounted adult female body oval, 2.83 mm long, 2.56 mm wide. (Gullan, et al., 2018)
