Systematics: Beardsley (1959b) described this species as Pseudococcus dorsispinosus. Later, (Beardsley, 1963a) gave an unpublished opinion of Harold Morrison, who pointed out that dorsispinosus Beardsley differ only in the connecting vowel of the compound word from dorsospinosus Wirjati (1958), and therefore under provisions of Articles 57(f) and 58(10) of the ICZN must be reagarded a junior homonym of dorsospinosus Wirjati (1958). Consequently, Beardsley (1963a) introduced the replacement name Pseudococcus pipturicolus (Ben-Dov et al., 1997).
