Remarks

• Systematics: The Stigmacoccus paranaensis female differs from S. asper because it does not have a sclerosed area in the head. It has no long pores, spines or a reticular pattern in the dorso-medial region. Stigmacoccus paranaensis differs from S. garmilleri by having antennae with less than 10 segments and by having groups of locular pores along the strongly sclerotic on the walls of the vulva.
• Structure: Adult females of S. paranaensis have an oval shape, antennae with six to nine segments, reduced mouthparts, developed legs, membranous dermis with a small number of fine bristles, and several locular pores close to the vulva. Adult males have an elongated body, with clearly present bristles and hairs (Orth et al. 2024).
• Biology: The life cycle of S. paranaensis lasts about two years (Orth et al. 2024).
• General Remarks: Description and illustration of adult female, female cyst stage and first instar nymph by Foldi (2006).
