Systematics: Like Maconellicoccus hirsutus, it has oral rim ducts on both the dorsum and venter, an anal bar, and 4 pairs of cerarii on the 4 posteriormost abdominal segments but differs primarily in lacking a circulus and usually having 8-segmented antennae versus M. hirsutus which has a circulus and 9-segmented antennae. It is also similar to Maconellicoccus leptospermi Williams in that it lacks a circulus, has 4 pairs of cerarii and has oral collar tubular ducts on the dorsum, but differs from that species and other Maconellicoccus species by having translucent pores on the hind coxae.

General Remarks: Good description and illustration of the adult female given by Ezzat (1962a).
