Systematics: The only other species of Xenolecanium with marginal setae that are neither fimbriate nor paddlelike is X. maritimum. Xenolecanium pendleburyi differs from it in having spiracular disc-pores along the margins of each stigmatic cleft. In addition, it differs from X. maritimum and other Xenolecanium species in having the following combination of characters: (i) finely spinose marginal setae; (ii) cribriform plate dorsad to mouthparts composed of a loose group of sclerotized pores not forming an obvious plate; (iii) ventral tubular ducts either absent or extremely few on either side of vulva; (iv) large oval sclerotized areas much larger and fewer than on other species; (v) margin not crenulated, and (vi) apical seta on each anal plate strong and spinose. (Hodgson, 2022)
Structure: Slide-mounted material. Body oval, 2.4–2.75 mm long, 1.7–1.8 mm wide. Stigmatic clefts obviously indented; anal cleft about 1/5 total body length; cleft probably fused. (Hodgson, 2022)
General Remarks: Detailed description and illustration in Hodgson, 2022.
