Systematics: Nagoyacoccus philippinensis is similar to Megapulvinaria beihaiensis Wang & Feng, 2012, M. maskelli, M. maxima, and M. orientalis in having (i) marginal spinose setae with parallel sides and typically slightly bifid apices, and (ii) three types of ventral tubular ducts. However, it differs from the above four species by the following character states (character states of the four species in parenthesis): (i) having only one type of marginal setae (having two types of marginal setae) and (ii) supporting bars on the underside of the anal plates (supporting bars on the underside of the anal plates are absent), (iii) lacking Type III ventral tubular ducts on submarginal area anterior to posterior stigmatic furrows (having Type III ventral tubular ducts on submarginal area anterior to posterior stigmatic furrows). (Tanaka & Kamitai, 2023a)
Structure: Slide-mounted adult female body broadly oval, 7.2 mm long, 4.0 mm wide, margin with a shallow but recognizable indentation at each stigmatic cleft; anal cleft approximately 1/6 of body length. (Tanaka & Kamitai, 2023a)
