Li, W.-C., & Wu, S.A. 2014 A new species and a new record of the genus Balanococcus Williams (Hemiptera: Coccoidea: Pseudococcidae) from China. Zoological Systematics 39(2): 269–274

Notes: A new species and a new record of the genus Balanococcus Williams are described from China. They are B. zhejiangensis sp. nov. and B. kwoni Pellizzari & Danzig, 2007. The new species, collected from Zhejiang, China under leaf sheath of Phyllostachys praecox, is similar to B. kwoni Pellizzari & Danzig, but can be distinguished by its hind coxa inflated, and only small type of oral collar tubular ducts present on dorsal surface. A key to Chinese species of Balanococcus is given. All specimens examined are deposited in the Insect Collection of Beijing Forestry University.
