Remarks
- Systematics: Lindinger (1954: 614) was first to discover that Hahnemann (1793) used the name Coccionella polonica for the Polish cochineal scale. Consequently, Lindinger (1954) presented the case for acceptance, while using the name Coccionella as a total replacement for Margarodes Guilding, 1829. Morrison & Morrison (1966) noted that, in recent years, there has been sufficient work to demonstrate that Margarodes sensu lato is a complex of morphologically diverse species that can be placed into several distinct genera. Therefore, Coccionella, if accepted, can only replace Porphyrophora Brandt, 1833. Lindinger's (1954) suggestion was not accepted, and no species have been assigned to Coccionella since 1954. On the other hand, numerous new species have been described after 1954 in the genus Porphyrophora. Jakubski (1965: 5) regarded Coccionella as a nomen oblitum and synonymized it with Porphyrophora. The interpretation in this Database basically concurs with that of Jakubski (1965). Article 23.9 (Reversal of Precedence) of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (Fourth Edition, 1999) can be applied, and stabilize Porphyrophora Brandt, 1833, as a nomen protectum, while regarding Coccionella Hahnemann, 1793 as a nomen oblitum and a synonym.
Gavrilov-Zimin, 2018, redefined the tribe Margarodini within the family Margarodidae to include the tribes of Dimargarodini, Porphyrophorini, Eumargarodini, Neomargarodini, Tremitoccoccini, Eurhizococcini and Margarodesiini. He did so to place the genus Porphyrophora in relation to other genera that he felt belonged in a subfamily of Margardinae (Dimargarodes, Eumargarodes, Heteromargarodes, Margarodes, Margarodesia, Neomargarodes, Porphyrophora and Termitococcus)
The adult female of Porphyrophora differs mainly from Margarodes in the absence of abdominal spiracles, or their presence only on first two abdominal segments.
- Structure: In life, body egg-shaped, hairy, violet-red; legs well developed, foreleg fossorial; living underground.
Adult females of Porphyrophora can be distinguished from those of other genera of hypogeal
margarodids by the following characters: (i) abdominal spiracles numbering 2 pairs or absent; (ii) thoracic spiracles each with multilocular disc-pores in atrium but abdominal spiracles without any pores; (iii) foreleg claw simple, without a heel; (iv) antennae each 7–18 segmented, more-or-less conical, usually naked except apical segment; (v) spines absent; and (vi) eyespots present. (Zheng & Wu, 2024).
