Remarks
- Systematics: Pseudococcus odennatti is most similar to Pseudococcus comstocki and P. gilbertensis Beardsley. It is easily distinguished from them by the absence of translucent pores on the hind coxae. It also can be distinguished from P. comstocki by having no multilocular pores on the ventral surface of abdominal segment II and from P. gilbertensis by having more than 5 ventral oral-collar tubular ducts associated with cerarius 12. Pseudococcus comstocki has many multiloculars on abdominal segment II and P. gilbertensis has fewer than 5 ventral oral-collar tubular ducts associated with cerarius 12.
- Structure: Live adult female: found feeding on leaves and stems of the host-plant; secreting white powdery wax over almost all body surfaces. Slide-mounted adult female: Body elongate oval, 2.7–4.0 mm long and 1.5–2.6 mm wide; derm membranous; segmentation recognizable, but not well developed. Anal lobes clearly observable, dorsal surface of each lobe with well-sclerotized plate and ventral surface with long apical seta, 94–183 µm long; anal lobe bar absent. Antenna 415–560 µm long, with 8 segments and many flagellate setae; subapical segment with 1 fleshy seta, apical segment with 3 fleshy setae. Eyes situated on margin, not associated with discoidal pores. Legs well developed, with many flagellate setae; hind trochanter + femur 327–467 µm long; hind tibia + tarsus 352–480 µm long; each claw 24–40 µm long without a denticle. (Tanaka et al. 2025)
- General Remarks: Description and illustration of adult female by Miller & Williams (1997), Williams (2004a), and Tanaka et al. (2025). Good description and illustration of the female third-instar nymph given by Miller & Williams (1997).
