Systematics: Pseudococcus neomierocirculus has been confused with P. microcirculus but can be separated by having: Multilocular pores in a transverse row on posterior margin of segment IV; 5(3-6) auxiliary setae in cerarius 12; 22(17-30) trilocular pores in cerarius 12; longest interantennal seta 42(35 -54)µ long; longest ventral seta on abdomen 25(20-35)µ long. Pseudococcus microcirculus has: Multilocular pores absent from posterior margin of segment IV; 3(1-4) auxiliary setae in cerarius 12; 16(8-24) trilocular pores in cerarius 12; longest interantennal seta 63(49-77)µ long; longest ventral seta on abdomen 39(30-47)µ long. (Gimpel & Miller, 1996)
Structure: Circulus small, width 59(27-79)µ, located on segment III; translucent pores restricted to hind tibiae; multilocular pores on posterior margin of segment IV; hind tibia / hind femur length 1.0(0.9-1.1); hind femur 208(180-237)µ long. (Gimpel & Miller, 1996)
