Remarks
- Systematics: De Lotto (1967) and De Lotto (1975) referred Brain's syntypes from Viburnum sp. and some of those from Sida longipes to different species (Paracoccus larinus De Lotto, 1975). De Lotto (1957) synonymized Ps. simulator with Ps. muraltiae Brain, but later (De Lotto, 1958a) rejected this synonym and regarded Ps. simulator conspecific with Pa. burnerae.
- Structure: Colour photograph given by Hattingh (1993).
- Biology: After solving the practical problems experienced, data could be gathered on the development of this species at constant temperatures in the laboratory and at varying temperatures in the field, as well as on its parasitoids. From these data, life tables for P. burnerae were produced (Johnson and Giliomee, 2011).
- Economic Importance: Hattingh (1993) noted this this mealybug among the three most important species which occur on citrus in South Africa. Reported as a citrus pest in Eastern and Western Cape provinces of South Africa (Johnson & Giliomee, 2010).
- General Remarks: Description and illustration of adult female by Ezzat & McConnell (1956), De Lotto (1958a, 1967), Avasthi & Shafee (1983a), by Williams (2004a) and by Wakgari & Giliomee (2005).
