FAMILY PUTOIDAE TANG View in CoL View at ENA

Recent phylogenetic analyses based on nucleotide sequence data have shown that the genus Puto does not belong to the Pseudococcidae (Cook et al. 2002; Gullan & Cook, 2007; Hardy et al. 2008) but should be placed in a separate family, Putoidae , as indicated by Williams et al. (2011, 2008).

DIAGNOSIS. Adult female: eyes tall, height usually as great as length of first antennal segment; antennae usually 9 segmented, rarely 8; antennal intersegmental sensilla present between segments III & IV, IV & V and VI & VII, never present between segments V & VI; each surface of trochanter with 2–5 (usually 3 or 4) campaniform sensilla; claw usually with a pair of basal spurs; claw digitules often capitate but tarsal digitules almost never capitate; with at least 18 pairs of cerarii on sclerotised plates, if more pairs present, increase due to division of cerarii on certain segments; long tubular ducts almost always present on frons (anterior to mouthparts); multilocular pores present on venter; quinquelocular pores absent; trilocular pores usually of 3 sizes, ventral pores smallest, dorsal pores noticeably larger, cerarian pores slightly larger than dorsal pores.
