Remarks

• Systematics: Subfamily: Pseudococcinae (Choi & Lee)

  The species of the group share the following characters: loss or strong reduction of the legs, strong reduction of antennae, total or partial sclerotization of the body in mature females, presence of groups of microducts or irregular discoidal pores posteriorly to hind spiracles, absence of ostioles or presence of only poorly developed hind pair of ostioles, loss (with only several exclusions) of circuli, a loss of cerarii (excluding only 1-2 posterior pairs in two monotypic genera), a complete obligate ovoviviparity, a life under the leaf sheath of bamboo grasses, more rarely of other Poaceae grasses or very rarely on some other plants. (Gavrilov-Zimin, 2016a)

• Structure: Adult females of this genus can be distinguished by: body often globular, rounded posteriorly and sclerotized at maturity; anal ring with numerous pores and 6 setae, and usually situated at base of an anal tube; antennae reduced, 1-3 segmented; legs absent or greatly reduced, represented by pleural vestiges; vulva simple, directed ventrally; tubular ducts long and slender, with flange near inner end; multilocular, trilocular and discoidal pores usually present; disc-like pores usually present on submargin of abdominal venter, each disc-like pore often with a reticulate or granular surface, and with either a well-defined or obscure rim (Wu, et al., 2012).
• Biology: Almost all species infest Poaceae (including bamboos), principally occurring either between the leaf sheaths at the base of the culm near ground level, or under the bracts or leaf sheaths on the stems and branches. (Wu, et al., 2012)
