Remarks

• General Remarks: Good description and illustration of the adult female given by McKenzie & Williams (1965), who also discuss Ferris's (1953a) erroneous synonymy of this species with Phenacoccus solani. Althought Cockerell (1901g) did not designate a holotype, McKenzie & Williams's (1965) reference to a 'holotype' designates this specimen as the lectotype.
