Remarks

• Systematics: The adult female of C. nanningensis is morphologically similar to two African species, C. inyangombae and C. sordidus, both of which also lack tubular ducts from both dorsum and venter, and have marginal setae mostly with branched or fimbriate apices. The new species can be separated from C. inyangombae as follows (data for C. inyangombae from Hodgson (1967) given in brackets): (i) dorsal setae setose, extremely fine and pointed, sparsely scattered (robust and pointed, quite numerous); (ii) anal plates each with a robust discal seta with pointed apex (without discal setae); (iii) anogenital fold with 6 anterior margin setae (with 4 anterior margin setae); (iv) marginal setae mainly rather long and highly variable in structure, some with apices branched or bifurcate; some conical, straight or curved with apices pointed; some with apices swollen, sagittate or spatulate; some setose, slender, fine and sharply pointed, but mostly without fimbriate apices (all rather long with fimbriate apices); (v) marginal setae between anterior and posterior stigmatic clefts numbering 10‒12 on each side (5‒7 on each side); (vi) antenna with 7 segments (with 8 segments); and (vii) pregenital setae mainly numbering 2 pairs (3 pairs). Coccus nanningensis can be separated from C. sordidus as follows (data for C. sordidus from De Lotto (1957) given in brackets): (i) body oval to subcircular, 1.5–2.0 mm long, 1.0–1.5 mm wide (elongate and asymmetric, up to 5.2 mm long and up to 3.7 mm wide); (ii) anal plates each with a robust discal seta with a pointed apex (without discal setae); (iii) anogenital fold with 6 anterior margin setae (with 4 anterior margin setae); (iv) marginal setae mainly rather long and highly variable in structure, some with apices branched or bifurcate; some conical, straight or curved with apices pointed; some with apices swollen, sagittate or spatulate; some setose, slender, fine and sharply pointed, but mostly without fimbriate apices (all rather long with slightly fimbriate apices); (v) antenna with 7 segments (with 8 segments); (vi) pregenital setae mostly numbering 2 pairs (3 pairs); (vii) leg without a tibiotarsal articulatory sclerosis (with a tibio-tarsal articulatory sclerosis); and (viii) multilocular disc pores restricted to genital area only (resent around genital area and on preceding 2 or 3 abdominal segments). (Cao, et al., 2022)
• Structure: Adult female body oval to subcircular, yellowish-brown to pale brown, with symmetrical dark spot present on dorsum. Slide-mounted adult female. Body elongate oval to broadly oval; 1.5–2.0 mm long, 1.0–1.5 mm wide. Anal cleft approximately 1/7–1/6 of body length. (Cao, et al., 2022)
• General Remarks: Detailed description and illustration in Cao, et al., 2022.
