Ferrisia Fullaway, 1923 (Pseudococcidae)

Nomenclatural History

• Ferrisia Fullaway 1923: 311. Type species: Dactylopius virgatus Cockerell by monotypy and original designation . accepted valid name
• Ferrisiana Takahashi 1929a: 429. . replacement name that is unjustified (discovered by MorrisMo1966: 78)
• Ferrisa Freidberg, et al. 1989: 31;. . misspelling of genus name

Remarks

• Systematics: Subfamily: Pseudococcinae (Choi & Lee, 2022)

  In life, female mealybugs of the genus Ferrisia Fullaway are distinguished easily from other taxa of mealybugs by their long glassy filaments plus typical dorsal patterns formed by dark areas of cuticle that are bare of white wax. (Kaydan & Gullan, 2012)

• Structure: Only rarely do adult females of Ferrisia have a complete cover of white wax. If the bodies of Ferrisia females are cleared of soft contents and the cuticles stained and mounted on microscope slides, they are recognisable readily as belonging to Ferrisia due to the presence of dorsal enlarged tubular ducts that in life secrete the long glassy filaments. These ducts are characterised by a robust duct opening to the exterior via an irregularly circular sclerotised area bearing one or more setae and often one or more minute pores (Gullan et al. 2010).
• Economic Importance: Several Ferrisia species are polyphagous, or at least oligophagous, and it is likely that transfers from native to exotic host plants increase their pest status. (Kaydan & Gullan, 2012)
