Remarks

• Systematics: Mesolecanium ferum Hempel, 1903, was transferred to the genus Neotoumeyella as N. ferum (Hempel). In N. ferum, ventral tubular ducts are found in the perivulvar region and on submedian areas of the abdomen and on area around both anterior and posterior spiracular pore bands, a characteristic feature of Neotoumeyella. Neotoumeyella was rediagnosed to include the autapomorphic features of N. ferum. Neotoumeyella ferum corresponds to Figure 6 (page 25) in the paper by Granara de Willink (2012), which was mislabeled as Mesolecanium baccharidis (Cockerell). (Kondo, 2018b)
• Structure: Diagnostic characters (translated from Granara de Willink 2012 by Kondo, 2018b). Stigmatic clefts broad, with spiracular pores with 5–8 loculi. Dorsal surface with microducts and ducts with a conspicuous outer aperture, circular in shape, large, concave, highly sclerotized, with a cribriform center, convex; dorsal setae thorn-like, short. Marginal setae similar to dorsal setae, arranged around margin in one to two rows. One or two short and robust stigmatic setae slightly displaced onto dorsal surface. Prevulvar setae not differentiated from other setae on [ventral] surface. Multilocular disc-pores with 6–10 loculi, with a central loculus, present on abdomen and thorax. Tubular ducts very small, lacking a terminal filament, present on area near vulva and on the border of the stigmatic furrows (Granara de Willink 2012).
