Suchitra, M., Ghosh, A.B., & Mondal, S. 2000 Morphology of different instars of pink sugarcane mealybug, Saccharicoccus sacchari (Cockerell) (Homoptera, Pseudococcidae).. Journal of Interacademicia 4(1): 113-130.

Notes: Descriptions with illustrations and a key to the identification of different instars of the pink sugarcane mealybug, Saccharicoccus sacchari (Cockerell) are given. The trilocular, quadrilocular, clusters of quinquelocular and multilocular disc pores secrete waxy dusts, particulate wax, waxy thread like caudal projections and globular waxy particles, respectively. Oral collar tubular ducts produce waxy cottony fibres and the glands of anal ring secrete waxy tubes.
