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.
• General Remarks: Description and illustration of adult female by Miller & Williams (1997) and by Williams (2004a). Good description and illustration of the female third-inster nymph given by Miller & Williams (1997).
