Remarks

• Systematics: Subfamily: Coccinae A, Pulvinarini (Choi & Lee, 2019) Pulvinaria idesiae is similar to P. hazeae in having: (i) well-developed ventral setae on the medial area of most thoracic and abdominal segments; (ii) a large, rounded body; (iii) in lacking dorsal tubular ducts; and (iv) in having similar dorsal coloration (dark brown with irregular whitish or yellowish spots). However, P. idesiae differs from P. hazeae as follows (character states of P. hazeae in brackets): (i) producing a short, thick-walled ovisac (producing an extremely long and thin-walled ovisac); (ii) in lacking multilocular pores between the antennae (having multiple multilocular pores between antennae); and (iii) having type III ventral tubular ducts in submarginal area anterior to anterior stigmatic furrows (lacking type III ventral tubular ducts in submarginal areas anterior to anterior stigmatic furrows). Pulvinaria idesiae can be separated from other Pulvinaria species by the absence of dorsal tubular ducts and dorsal submarginal tubercles, the condition of the dermal areolation, body shape, multilocular pore distribution, type III ventral tubular duct distribution, and the number of loculi in each multilocular pore. (Tanaka & Kamitani, 2021b)
• Structure: Body of adult female broadly oval to circular, slightly convex; dorsal surface dark brown, covered with irregular yellowish spots; ovisac produced from ventral surface of abdomen, short, about 1–2 times as long as body; posterior part of body uplifted strongly by ovisac. (Tanaka & Kamitani, 2021b)
