Remarks
- Systematics: Signoret (1876: 367) established the genus Ortonia (Hemiptera, Coccoidea: Margarodidae) for two new species, namely Ortonia bouvari Signoret, 1876 and O. uhleri Signoret, 1876 without designation of type species. Cockerell (1899: 259) discovered that Ortonia Signoret, 1876 was a homonym of Ortonia Wood, 1869 (in order Opiliones, class Arachnida; see Kury, 2003) and of Ortonia Nicholson, 1873 (in phylum Annelidae). In addition, Cockerell synonymized Ortonia Signoret with Llaveia Signoret (1876: 37), because he considered O. bouvari and O. uhleri to be congeneric with Llaveia axin (Llave, 1832), the type species of Llaveia. Subsequently, Cockerell (1902b: 232) designated Ortonia uhleri as type species of Ortonia Signoret. Morrison & Morrison (1966) discussed the status of Ortonia Signoret, but made no conclusions, probably because no type material was available to him. Ben-Dov (2004) studied type material of Ortonia uhleri Signoret, 1876, designated the lectotype, and concluded that the species is not congeneric with Llaveia axin, but rather belongs to a different genus for which the replacement name Ecuadortonia Ben-Dov was proposed.
Gavrilov-Zimin, 2018, resurrected the tribe Monophlebini (including Llaveiini (syn. nov.) within the family Margarodidae to place the genus Laurencella in relation to other genera that he felt belonged in a subfamily of Monophlebinae (Afrodrosicha, Buchnericoccus, Corandesia, Etropera, Gueriniella, Laurencella, Llaveia, Monophleboides, Monophlebus, Neohodgsonius, Nietnera, Pseudaspidoproctus and Vrydagha)
Williams & Gullan (2008) concluded that Ecuadortonia Ben-Dov, 2004 is a synonym of Laurecella Foldi, 1995.
- Structure: Adult female oval, derm covered by a dense pilosity. Antennae each 8 or 9 segmented. Eyes close to scape, each laterad to antennal base. All species in the genus possess well developed mouthparts, seven pairs of abdominal spiracles and cribriform cicatrices.
- General Remarks: Detailed description in Foldi & Williams, 2013.
