Madarococcus raithbyi (Maskell, 1890) (Eriococcidae: Madarococcus)

Eriococcus raithbyi Maskell 1890: 145-6. Type data: NEW ZEALAND: on Nothofagus menziesii. Lectotype, female, by subsequent designation (DeitzTo1980,48). Type depository: Auckland: New Zealand Arthropod Collection, Landcare Research, New Zealand; London: The Natural History Museum, England, UK; Washington: United States National Entomological Collection, U.S. National Museum of Natural History, District of Columbia, USA; accepted valid name Notes: Paralectotypes are in NZAC. Hoy (1962a) illustrated and redescribed the adult female of this species based on one slide-mounted female from Maskell (this specimen is now the lectotype) plus eight additional specimens from Maskell’s duplicate material, one of which he designated as a plesiotype. The lectotype slide is a Maskell's original slide, labelled Holotype by Brittin then lectotype by Deitz & Tocker. Illustr.

Systematics: Slide-mounted adult female with: dorsal setae hair like, scattered over surface; anal lobes with lateral seta unusually small, medial setae slightly enlarged, conical; macrotubular ducts unusually abundant in lateral areas of abdomen and posterior thorax, forming band across mesothorax; suranal setae spatulate; microtubular ducts medium in length, without sclerotized area (Hoy, 1962).

Male sac orange yellow, lighter colored at the abdominal end, slightly convex, closely felted. Female sac is orange yellow, elliptical, convex. Occurs on the underside of leaves (Maskell, 1890).
