Wu, S.A., & Cheng, G.F. 2006 A description of a new species of genus Neogreenia MacGillivray from China (Homoptera: Coccoidea: Margarodidae).. Scientia Silvae Sinicae 42(4): 62-64.

Notes: A new species, Neogreenia sophorica Wu, collected from Beijing inside bark tissue of Sophora japonica is described and illustrated with its adult female, egg, 1st and 2nd instar nymph. The new species can be easily distinguished from other species in genus Neogreenia by claw with 2 minute denticles. A new combination is constructed for Kuwania osmanthus, transferring from genus Kuwania to genus Neogreenia. A key to the world species of genus Neogreenia is also given. All type specimens are deposited in the Insect Collections of Department of Forestry Protection, Beijing Forestry University.

Thoracic spiracles each with a group of multilocular pores at inner end of atrium; abdominal spiracles in 6 pairs, all smaller than the thoracic ones, with small amount of multilocular pores within its atrium.
