Planococcus vovae (Nasonov, 1909) (Pseudococcidae: Planococcus)Nomenclatural History
- Coccus gossipifera Rondani 1874: 43. Type data: ITALY: on twigs of Juniperus.. Syntypes, female, junior synonym (discovered by WilliaMo2000, 39). Notes: Depository of type material unknown.

Remarks
- Systematics: Williams & Moghadamm (1999) concluded that Coccus gossipifera Rondani, 1874 was a nomen oblitum (under articles 23.9.2 and 23.9.1.2 of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature Fourth Edition, 1999), and therefore placed it as a synonym of Planococcus vovae (Nasonov, 1908). The illustration and description given by Danzig (1980b: 168) for Planococcus vovae are misidentification of Planococcus taigae Danzig (1986).Williams & Moghadamm (1999) discussed the close taxonomic relation of Planococcus vovae, Planococcus taigae and Crisicoccus matesovae, and suggested that possiblity that all three represent a single variable species.
- Biology: Occurring on the twigs of the host plant. Life history and natural enemies discussed by Kosztarab & Kozár (1988F). In Italy it develops two annual generation (Francardi & Covassi, 1992). Natural enemies in Italy discussed by Francardi & Covassi (1992). Biology and ecology discussed by Kozarzhevskaya (1992).Occurring on the twigs of the host plant. The available records of this species indicate that it is distributed in the eastern Palaearctic Region as compared to the western distribution of the very similar Planococcus vovae. Parasites in Palaearctic region discussed by Trjapitzin (1989). Mean longevity of adult males is 54.7 ± 1.5 h. There is a sexual maturation period of the adult males which lasted for about 30 h., indicated by maximum growth of waxy caudal filaments. (Mendel, et al., 2012)
- General Remarks: Description and illustration of adult female by Ezzat & McConnell (1956), Ter-Grigorian (1973), Tereznikova (1975), Roberti & Tranfaglia (1981), Cox & Ben-Dov (1986), Kosztarab & Kozar (1988F), Cox (1989), Williams & Granara de Willink (1992) and by Danzig & Gavrilov (2010). The illustration and description given by Danzig (1980b: 168) for Planococcus vovae are misidentification of Planococcus taigae Danzig (1986).Good description and illustration of the adult female given by Cox (1989). Good description of the adult female given by Danzig (1986) and by Tang (1992). The redescription and illustration of P. vovae by Danzig (1980b: 168) are misidentifications of this species.Good description and illustration of the adult female given by Tang & Li (1988). Good description of the adult female given by Tang (1992).
