Remarks
- Systematics: Subfamily Cariococcinae (Choi I& Lee, 2019)
- Structure: Dorsum with preopercular pores present in front of anal plates, plus a few pores present on thorax. Venter with multilocular disc-pores frequently present of abdomen, not extending to metathorax; antenna 8 segmented, with 4th and 5th segments longer than wide.
- Biology: Buckley & Gullan (1991) showed, in Papua New Guinea, that attendance by the aggressive ant, Oecophylla smaragdina (Fabricius), reduces the rate of parasitization. Reproduction is bisexual with a Lecanoid heterochromatinization in male embryos.(Gavrilov-Zimin, 2020)
- General Remarks: Good description and illustration of the adult female given by Tao et al. (1983), Tang (1991) and by Williams & Watson (1990).
