Remarks
- Structure: Adult female hemispherical, with a deep subcentral transverse depression in front of the anal orifice. Integument smooth and so polished as to appear glass-like, rich dark castaneous to piceous. Margin with narrow fringe of closely set pale orange-yellow spines; narrow vertical band of white secretion over the anterior stigmatic clefts. Ventral surface of fringe covered with white secretion. Female larva ellipsoidal, male larva more elongated (Newstead, 1913).
- Biology: Parastictococcus gowdeyi is always attended by ants (Schmutterer, 1969).
- General Remarks: Detailed description and illustration by Richard (1976). Hodgson (2002) used this species in a phylogenetic analysis of non-margarodid Coccoidea.
