DanzigGa2015: pp.476-477 ( Adult (F) ) [Nipaecoccus species] Key as: Nipaecoccus placococcoides

Systematics: Planococcus planococcoides was transferred to Nipaecoccus by Danzig & Gavrilov-Zimin (2015) as N. planococcoides, because it has conical setae on dorsum and additional cerarii along body midline. However, since it has an anal lobe bar present on each anal lobe, marginal cerarii numbering 18 pairs and claw without a denticle, Zhang & Deng (2023) followed Tang (1992) and revived the genus Planococcus.
General Remarks: Good description and illustration of the adult female given by Borchsenius (1962a). Good description of the adult female given by Tang (1992).
