Systematics: Pseudococcus dumetum is similar to P. jackbeardsleyi because both have submarginal ducts with dorsal rims; antennas and legs a similar length r and lack a duct with an oral rim between C2 and C3. They differ because P. dumetum has 1) eyes with pores on membranous surface (sclerosed surface in P. jackbeardsleyi); 2) multilocular pores up to segment V (up to IV in P. jackbeardsleyi); 3) translucent pores on the distal part of the femur (along the posterior femur in P. jackberdsleyi); and 4) segment VII with avduct with oral rim in the midline (duct absent in P. jackberdsleyi). (Granara de Willink & González, 2018.)
Structure: Translucent pores on the femur and tibia; eyes with two discoidal pores on a membranous surface with ducts with , submarginal oral collars; ducts with oral rim with discoidal pores near the margin on cephalothorax and abdomen, present in frontal zone and absent between C2 and C3; Cerarii 17 pairs; multilocular pores in ventral abdomen to segment V; four tubular ducts with oral rims between C5 and C11; tubular ducts with oral collar approximately 30 from frontal zone until C5 and scarce in the later segments.
