Wu, S.A., Lu, Y., & Nan, N. 2012 A review of the genus Antonina Signoret in China (Hemiptera: Coccoidea: Pseudococcidae), with description of a new species. Zootaxa 3514:27-42
Notes: The mealybug genus Antonina Signoret (Coccoidea: Pseudococcidae) in China is reviewed and 12 species are recognized. Of these, Antonina nanlingensis Wu & Lu sp. nov. is a new species, collected from Ruyuan county, Guangdong Province, under the leaf sheaths of Indocalamus longianritus (Poaceae). The adult female and first- and second-instar nymphs of A. nanlingensis are described and illustrated. Additionally, A. sandakanae Williams is recorded from China for the first time, but all previous records of A. zonata Green from China are believed to be misidentifications of A. milleri Williams. A key to the adult females of Antonina species from China is included, as are keys to the first- and second-instar nymphs where these stages are known.
