Remarks
- Systematics: Although Tang (1991) transferred Neoplatylecanium tripartitum to Marsipococcus, Hodgson noted that it had the distinctive dorsal pore with a very long inner ductule typical of Neoplatylecanium and determined that it should be retained in its original genus, Neoplatylecanium. (Lagowska, Martin & Hodgson, 2017)
- General Remarks: Good description and illustration of the adult female given by Tang (1991).
