Remarks
- Systematics: Generic characteristics that distinguish this genus from all other eriococcids are: dorsal derm nodulose; posterior abdominal segments overlaid by anterior segments; macrotubular ducts confined to dorsum of posterior abdominal segments (Hoy, 1962).
Body colour varies from pale green to yellow to brown, sometimes changing with age; some species with striking white patterns on dorsum.
- Structure: The adult females of 27 of the 31 species of Madarococcus can be distinguished by the spatulate shape of the suranal setae,
Females of this genus do not form sacs, even at full maturity. Dorsum or margins sometimes bearing a number of glassy tubes arising from bases of enlarged setae. Body colour varies from pale green to yellow to brown, sometimes changing with age; some species with striking white patterns on dorsum. (Hoy, 1962).
- Biology: An ecological characteristic uniting the species of Madarococcus is that they feed exclusively on Nothofagus species. Adult females either forming test ( = sac), naked, or inducing gall (Fig. 4); found on leaf surfaces, stems, leaf axils or bark crevices. Some species with glassy filaments born on enlarged dorsal and marginal setae. Insect occurs on underside of leaves, in galls or on smaller stems of the host. Insect often produces severe leaf distortion (Hoy, 1962)
