Remarks
- Systematics: Subfamily Phenacoccinae
The genus Coccidella Morrison (1946a) was regarded a subjective synonym of Rhizoecus by Hambleton (1946a), Ferris (1953a), Williams (2004a) and by Ben-Dov (1994). Kozár & Foldi (2004) resurrected the genus and described in it several new species. For a period of time, Ripersiella was regarded as subjective synonym of Rhizoecus. Neorhizoecus Hambleton, 1946, because he did not find tritubular pores (cerores) on the specimens. Later in 1977 in a new study he found typical tritubular cerores and he was right synonymizing the Neorhizoecus with Rhizoecus. C.J. Hodgson, 2012, concluded that the rhizoecine mealybugs form a separate family from the Pseudococcidae, Rhizoecidae Williams. He bases this on a study of male physiology and on phylogenetic data.
- Structure: According to Kozár and Konczné Benedicty (2007), Rhizoecus is characterized by the combination of the following features: (i) 5 or 6 segmented antennae, (ii) legs well developed, (iii) dorsum and venter with tritubular ducts, and (iv) anal ring with 6 setae. Internal female genital organ shows great variability in shape and size (Kozár & Konczné Benedicty 2007).
- General Remarks: Definition and characters by Hambleton (1946, 1973, 1974, 1976), Ferris in Zimmerman (1948), Ferris (1953a), McKenzie (1967), Ter-Grigorian (1973), Tereznikova (1975), Danzig (1980b), Cox (1987), Williams & Watson (1988a), Williams & Granara de Willink (1992), Tang (1992), Kosztarab (1996), Williams (1998), Williams (2004a) and by Danzig & Gavrilov (2009). The genus was revised on a world-wide basis by Kozár & Konczné Benedicty (2007)
