Hodgso2022: pp.465 ( Adult (F) ) [Xenolecanium and Takahashilecanium species]

Systematics: The only other species of Xenolecanium in which the adult female has either non-fimbriate or nonpaddle-like setae is X. pendleburyi Hodgson. A discussion of the differences between these species is given under that species. Xenolecanium mangiferae Takahashi was also collected on mangrove species (in Thailand) but that species differs from X. maritimum in having fimbriate marginal setae and is thought to lack preopercular pores. (Hodgson, 2022)
Structure: Body oval, 3.0–3.5 mm long, 2.5–3.0 mm wide. Stigmatic clefts obviously indented; anal cleft about 1/5th total body length; cleft probably fused. (Hodgson, 2022)
