Remarks

• Systematics: Pseudococcus nakaharai is different from all other members of the P. maritimus group. It susperficially resembles P. viburni by having: Swollen hind tibiae with numerous translucent pores; several discoidal pores near each eye; several oral collars near cererius 12, few or no oral collars associated with cerarii 10 and 11. It differs by having 33(28-36) trilocular pores and 4(3-6) discoidal pores associated with cerarius 12; dorsal oral-collar tubular ducts; dorsal multilocular disc pores; longest dorsal body seta 24(21-34µ long; longest dorsal seta on segment VIII. P. viburni has 19(15-23) trilocular pores and 2(1-3) discoidal pores associated with cerarius 12; no dorsal oral collars except marginal ones; no dorsal multilocular disc pores; longest dorsal body seta 15(10-20)µ long. (Gimpel & Miller, 1996)
• Structure: Translucent pores restricted to hind tibiae; hind tibiae swollen mesally; oral-collar tubular ducts present on posterior abdominal segments of dorsum; multilocular disc pores usually present dorsally on mediolateral area of segment VII; 7(6-11) cisvulvar setae on each side; labium 248(219-297)µ long. (Gimpel & Miller, 1996)
• General Remarks: Good description and illustration of the adult female given by Gimpel & Miller (1996). Good description and illustration of the third instar female given by Gimpel & Miller (1996).
