Remarks

• Systematics: Pseudococcus peregrinabundus superficially is similar to P. puertoricensis by having: Numerous multilocular disc pores on the ventral thorax;translucent pores on the hind femur and tibia; several oral collars near cerarius12. Pseudococcus peregrinabundus differs by having: Dorsal multilocular disc pores; 2(1-3) discoidal pores associated with rim of dorsal oral rims; no dorsal oral rim associated with frontal cerarii; longest dorsal body seta 23(22-24)µ long; oral rims absent from submargin of venter between segment II and cerarius 13; antennae 564(503-602)µ long; hind tibia 363(360-366)µ long; 2 dorsal oral rims on abdomen. Pseudococcus puertoricensis has: No dorsal multilocular disc pores; 1(0-3) discoidal pores associated with rim of dorsal oral rims; 1 dorsal oral rim associated with each frontal cerarius; longest dorsal body seta 40(32-52)µ long; 6(5-8) oral rims on submargin of venter between segment II and cerarius 13; antennae 497(473-509)µ long; hind tibia 289(283-302)µ long; 34(30-38) dorsal oral rims on abdomen. (Gimpel & Miller, 1996)
• Structure: With dorsal multilocular disc pores on segments I-VII; multilocular pores abundant on ventral thorax and head; frontal cerarii without associated dorsal oral-rim tubular ducts; translucent pores on hind tibia and femur; 15(14-17) oral-collar tubular ducts on venter mesad of cerarius 12; without oral-rim on dorsal submargin between cerarii 15 and 16.(Gimpel & Miller, 1996)
• General Remarks: Good description and illustration of the adult female given by Borchsenius (1947b, 1948d), Williams & Granara de Willink (1992) and by Gimpel & Miller (1996).
