Keys
- WilliaMaMi2010: pp.11 ( Adult (F) ) [Key to adult females of Stictococcus species (except S. tuberculatus)]
- Richar1976: pp.667 ( Adult (F) ) [Key to species of Stictococcus]
Remarks
- Systematics: This species is easily distinguishable from all other species of Stictococcus in possessing dorsal pores all about the same size. In other known species, the marginal pores are noticeably larger than the other dorsal pores. (Williams, et al., 2010)
- Structure: Adult female oval, flattish, about 4 mm long, 3 mm wide; smooth and shiny, ferruginous to olive-brown. Female larva broad oval, with a similar anal orifice, but it is surrounded by the 6 long bristles of the anal ring (Cockerell, 1903c).
- Biology: First instars are sexually dimorphic (Lamborn 1913).
- Economic Importance: A pest of cacao in Western Africa, Eublemma ochrochroa and Tortrix callopisia are recorded as natural enemies (Lamborn 1915).
- General Remarks: Detailed redescription and illustration by Richard (1971).
