Remarks

Systematics: Mamet (1958) clarified and established the nomenclature of this species. It can easily be distinguished from all the other known species in the group by the wide submarginal zone of ducts which are of three sizes, the median-sized ducts merging with similar ducts across the abdominal segments. The submarginal zone is not, therefore, so clearly defined as in other species. (Williams, 1982a)
Economic Importance: According to Williams (1978) severe attacks of P. iceryi cause extensive wilting of sugar-cane and the honeydew excreted results in growth of a black fungus on the leaf surfaces.
General Remarks: Description and illustration of adult female by Mamet (1958) and by Hodgson (1994a).
