Remarks
- Systematics: Bambusaecoccus possesses all of the above characteristics of the Paralecaniini: the adult females lack dorsal tubular ducts, and have a pair of eyespots on the dorsal surface of the head situated some distance from the margin; ventral tubular ducts are restricted to a small group on either side of the genital opening; and pregenital disc-pores are restricted to segments immediately anterior to the genital opening. Bambusaecoccus is similar to Takahashilecanium Kondo (in Kondo et al. 2005) in sharing the following character states: (i) stigmatic clefts present; (ii) pregenital disc-pores mostly each with 5 loculi; (iii) anal plates together pyriform; (iv) spiracular disc-pores present in broad bands between margin and spiracles; (v) preopercular pores present in two groups located laterad to anal plates; and (vi) pregenital disc pores forming a small group posterior to vulvar opening on each side of the anal cleft. Bambusaecoccus can be distinguished from the latter genus by (character states of Takahashilecanium in brackets): (i) stigmatic clefts each associated with about 20 dorsal stigmatic spines (each cleft containing only 3 stigmatic spines); (ii) ventral tubular ducts present in a small group on each side of genital opening (ventral tubular ducts absent); and (iii) legs and antennae reduced (legs and antennae well developed, although small relative to body size).
