Remarks

• Systematics: http://zoobank.org/6CEFB946-AEE4-466C-BF6C-D55F0CBC809B This species is considered to be close to Saissetia coffeae (Choi and Lee 2017) and they share some distinct characteristics: 1) more than one type of ventral tubular duct; 2) anal plate with a discal seta; 3) three pairs of setae present along lateral margin; and 4) anal ring subcircular, with four pairs of setae. However, S. puerensis can be distinguished by the possession of the following features (character states of S. coffeae in parenthesis): 1) four types of ventral tubular ducts (three); 2) ventral tubular ducts distributed irregularly, especially on posterior abdominal segments, type I mingling with type II ( regularly); 3) type II not present on medialthorax (present); 4) inner ductule of type II ventral tubular ducts almost twice as long as outer ductule (inner ductule as long as outer ductule); 5) spiracle in a rather broad band 7–8 pores wide (2–3); 6) preopercular pores 14–26 in front of anal plates (5–14); and 7) ano-genital fold with four or five pairs of setae (three).(Zhang, et al., 2018)
