HardyGu2007b: pp.87 ( Adult (F) ) [Key to adult females of Phacelococcus species]

Systematics: Slide-mounted adult female with: enlarged setae absent; hair-like setae scattered over dorsal surface; dorsal multilocular pores present marginally; ventral multilocular pores in clusters over entire venter; cruciform pores present on dorsum only; antennae 7-segmented; macrotubular ducts present; microtubular ducts medium in length, with 1 sclerotized area (Gullan & Strong, 1997).
Structure: This species occurs in a wax cell which it produces under the bark of its host (Miller, 1970). Gullan & Strong (1997) state that this species does not produce a sac, but is embedded in a sheet of wax and has to be dissected out, leaving a globular "cell."
General Remarks: Detailed description and illustration by Miller (1970). Subsequent redescription by Gullan & Strong (1997).
