Bandamacoccus Hodgson, 2023 (Coccidae)

Systematics: In having the following combination of character-states, adult female Bandamacoccus belongs to the tribe Coccini within the subfamily Coccinae as defined by Hodgson (1994): (i) absence of dorsal tubular ducts; (ii) absence of ventral tubular ducts; (iii) lack of pocket-like sclerotisations; (iv) stigmatic areas lacking any sclerotization; (v) stigmatic setae differentiated from marginal setae; (vi) eyespots positioned near margin, and (vii) multilocular disc-pores concentrated near vulva. However, it is immediately separable from all other Coccini genera by the presence of an exceptionally large labium.
General Remarks: As this genus is currently monotypic. Detailed description and illustration of the holotype in Hodgson, 2023a.
