Remarks

Systematics: In the initial description, Ph. kochiae was said to be similar to Ph. phenacoccoides but differed in the oval body and more numerous multilocular pores on both sides of the body. The host plants of the two species are also different; Ph. phenacoccoides is oligophagous on Poaceae and has never been collected from dicotyledons. (Danzig, 2006a)The species is characterized by variability in the number of multilocular pores and tubular ducts and the presence or absence of quinquelocular pores. Quinquelocular pores are always absent in specimens from the western part of the species range and occasionally present in specimens from the eastern populations. Quinquelocular pores vary in number between specimens. Circulus is usually absent in this species, but in one of the two females from Yakutia the circulus was found. (Danzig, 2006a) However, in Danzig & Gavrilov-Zimin, 2014, they determined that these characters vary between individual females in a single population and were not acceptable for species independency.
Structure: Body oval; 3 mm. Antennae 9-segmented. Legs with slender segments; hind femur and tibia with translucent pores. Spiracles with groups of trilocular poes. Circulus absent. Multilocular pores present on dorsal and ventral sides of abdomen; singular multilocular pores occasionally occurring near hind spiracles. Quinquelocular pores absent. Tubular ducts present on both sides of abdomen; dorsal and ventral ducts of the same size. (Danzig, 2006a)Body elongate, pink, 3.5 mm long. Antennae 9-, rarely 8-segmented. Legs comparatively short, often with tick hind femur; hind femur and tibia sometimes with translucent pores. Spiracles with groups of trilocular pores. Circulus usually absent. Dorsal multilocular pores occasionally present on abdominal segments. Ventral multilocular pores forming transverse rows and bands on 3-4 posterior abdominal segments; sometimes singular pores present along body margin. Quinquelocular pores often absent. Tubular ducts occasionally present on posterior abdominal tergites. (Danzig, 2006a)
Biology: The species inhabits plain and mountain steppes, occurs in the deserts and in saline lands. In the Western Pamirs; it was found at an altitude of 3400 m. It lives in axils of lower leaves and on roots of wild Poaceae. (Danzig2006a) Adult females occur from May to October in the leaf axils of the host plants.
General Remarks: Detailed description and illustration in Danzig, 2006a.Good description and illustration of the adult female given by Tereznikova (1975) and by Tang (1992). Good description of the adult female given by Borchsenius (1949).Good description of the adult female given by Borchsenius (1949) and by Tang (1992).Good description and illustration of the adult female given by Bazarov (1967a). Good description of the adult female given by Tang (1992).
