Remarks
- Systematics: Neomargarodes gossypii is found in North China; it was identified as N. niger by Pinglan Yang (Hou et al. 1985), as N. gossypii by Jikun Yang (1979) and as N. chondrillae by Tang (Tang & Hao 1995, Tang 2000). After studying the specimens from four Chinese provinces, Wu (2007) identified it as N. gossypii Yang, and considered N. gossypii to be a valid species, not a synonym of N. chondrillae. (Zheng & Wu, 2007)
- Structure: Unmounted material: Body broadly oval; yellowish; soft and hairy; foreleg fossorial and developed, middle leg and hind legs small (Zheng & Wu, 2024). Slide-mounted material: Body ovoid, 4.3–8.2 mm long and 3.2–6.3 mm wide; derm membranous. Antennae 6 segmented, each 300–435 μm long in total, small and stout, slightly conical. Scape (segment I) membranous and broadest, 90–125 μm long and 138–305 μm wide, with 5–24 hair-like setae each 25–358 μm long; remaining segments sclerotized, gradually narrowing towards apex, each subequal in length, 33–80 μm long. Eyespots and mouthparts absent. Thoracic spiracles developed, each peritreme 70–125 µm wide; with 8–13 simple pores (each about 2.5 μm wide) and 8–22 multilocular disc-pores (each 8–10 μm wide). Abdominal spiracles numbering 8 pairs (Zheng & Wu, 2024).
- Economic Importance: Found on cultivated cotton, Gossypium hirsutum in China (Yang, 1979).
- General Remarks: Description and illustration of adult female by Yang (1979), Tang & Hao (1995), Tang (2000), and Zheng & Wu (2024).
