Remarks
- Systematics: Pseudococcus landoi is similar to P. elisae. Pseudococcus elisae has: 1 oral rim posterior of each frontal cerarius; dorsal oral-rim tubular ducts; 14(5-25) oral collars in cluster mesad of cerarius 12; longest ventral body setae 76(62-91)!l long; labium 191(173-203)µ long; translucent pores on hind femur. Pseudococcus landoi differs by having: No oral rims posterior of frontal cerarii; no dorsal oral-rim tubular ducts; 43(28-51) oral collars in cluster mesad of cerarius 12; longest ventral body seta 55(24-73)µ long; labium 219(185-293)µ long; no translucent pores on hind femur. (Gimpel & Miller, 1996)
- Structure: Translucent pores restricted to hind tibiae; 8(6-11) discoidal pores associated with eye in sclerotized rim; oral-rim tubular ducts usually restricted to venter, absent posterior of frontal cerarius; 43(28-51) oral-collar tubular ducts associated with cerarius 12; cisanal setae 91(73-147)µ long; interantennal setae 140(122-17.6)µ long. (Gimpel & Miller, 1996)
- General Remarks: Good description and illustration of the adult female given by Balacowsky (1959) and by Gimpel & Miller (1996). Good description and illustration of the third instar female given by Gimpel & Miller (1996).
