Remarks
- Systematics: Ben-Dov & Koteja (2002) applied Article 29.3 of the Fourth edition of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature, in order to stabilize the name Matsucoccus in scale insects nomenclature. They designated the junior synonym Matsucoccus Cockerell, 1909, as nomen protectum and gave it precedence over the senior synonym Acreagris Koch & Berendt, 1854, nomen oblitum.
Young (1980, 1986a) clearly distinguished the genus Sonsaucoccus Young, 1980 from Matsucoccus. Tang & Hao (1995) regarded the former as a synonym of Matsucoccus.
Main characteristics (adult female) of this genus are: two segmented tarsus, identical structure of thoracic and abdominal spiracles, heterogenous structure of antennae with more or less clear differentiation of segments into scapus, pedicel and flagellum, weak development of wax secreting system, primitive structure of the anal apparatus. (Gavrilov-Zimin, 2018) Gavrilov-Zimin resurrected the tribe Matsuccini within the family Margarodidae to place the genus Matsucoccus in relation to other tribes that he felt belonged in a subfamily of Xylococcinae. (Gavrilov-Zimin)
- Structure: Adult females are membranous; elongate oval, about 3–7 mm long, legs well developed; antennae present on anterior margin, each 3–9-segmented, with enlarged scapes close to each other. Adult body reddish, greenish or brownish, body not covered in wax secretion, but
often surrounded by loose, woolly waxy filaments. Ovisac present but in most species poorly developed, composed of loose waxy threads. (Kondo et al., 2022)
- Biology: Kutscher & Koteja (2000) reported, described and illustrated a female of Matsucoccus species held between mandibles of an ant, Azteca sp. that both were included in Dominican amber. Matsucoccus spp. are generally found under bark, in crevices and cracks in the trunk and branches, on twig axils, and/or at bases of needle bundles of pine trees
(Pinaceae: Pinus spp.). (Kondo et al., 2022)
- General Remarks: Definition and characters by Morrison (1928), Borchsenius (1950b), Danzig (1980b), Kosztarab & Kozar (1988F), Kosztarab (1996) and by Foldi (2004).
