Remarks
- Systematics: Subfamily Cariococcini. (Choi & Lee, 2019) Drepanococcus cajani is similar to D. chiton. Hodgson, 1994, gave the following morphological differences between the species (character states of D. chiton in parentheses): (i) 4th and 5th segments of antenna shorter than wide, or of similar length to width (longer than wide), (ii) multilocular disc-pores extending onto the metathorax (restricted to abdominal segments) and (iii) preopercular pores restricted to the abdominal segments (extending onto the thorax).
- Structure: Dorsum with preopercular pores restricted to abdomen; venter with multilocular disc-pores frequent on abdomen, some groups also present laterad to metacoxa; antenna 7 or 8 segmented with 4th and 5th segments each shorter than wide, or of similar length to width.
- Economic Importance: D. cajani is one of the more injurious pests o pigeon peas (Cajanus cajan), which is a major crop in India. (Sharma, et al., 2015)
- General Remarks: Good description and illustration of the adult female given by Tang (1991) and by Hodgson (1994a).
