Remarks
- Systematics: GenBank accession numbers: JX228134 Dactylopius calceolariae var. minor Maskell, has been synonymized with Pl. citri by Morrison (1925), but Cox (1989) distinguished between them and resurrected the former as a species in Planococcus. Ho et al. (2007) isolated the sex pheromone of the mealybug, Planococcus minor by fractionation of crude pheromone extract obtained by aeration of virgin females. The pheromone was identified as the irregular terpenoid, 2-isopropyl-5-methyl-2,4-hexadienyl acetate, by mass spectrometry, microchemical tests, and 1H NMR spectroscopy. The stereochemistry of the pheromone was assigned as (E) by comparison with synthetic standards of known geometry. The compound was highly attractive to males in laboratory bioassays, whereas the (Z)-isomer appeared to antagonize attraction.
- Structure: Colour photograph given by Lit et al. (1998). Moharana (1990) reported chromosome number 2n=10.
- Biology: Buckley & Gullan (1991) showed, in Papua New Guinea, that attendance by the aggresive ant, Iridomyrmex nitidus Mayr, reduces the rate of parasitization.
- Economic Importance: Planococcus minor is a common species of many economically important plants, particularly cocoa, throughout its geographical range. Bastos et al. (2007) reported this species as pest of cotton, Gossypium hirsutum in Paraiba, Brazil.
- General Remarks: Description and illustration of adult female by Williams & Watson (1988a), Tu et al. (1988), Cox (1989), Cox (1989) (as Pl. psidii), Williams & Granara de Willink (1992), Lit et al. (1998) and by Williams (2004a).
