Green, 1896 : 10 Review of the family Coccidae (Hemiptera: Coccomorpha) in Laos Choi, Jinyeong Soysouvanh, Pheophanh Lee, Seunghwan Hong, Ki-Jeong Zootaxa 2018 2018-08-17 4460 1 1 62 (Green, 1896) Green 1896 [151,545,1613,1639] Magnoliopsida Arecaceae Coccus GBIF Plantae Arecales 23 24 Magnoliophyta species formicarii     Lecanium formicarii  Green, 1896: 10.   Diagnosis.Dorsum with setae sharply setose ( Fig. 21C); tubular ducts and duct tubercles absent; preopercular pores present in an elongate group anterior to anal plates ( Fig. 21D). Marginal setae spinose, with pointed apices ( Figs 20C, 21B). Venter with multilocular disc-pores each usually with 7–10 loculi ( Fig. 21G); tubular ducts each with a narrow inner ductule, abundant on medial area between procoxae, between mesocoxae, and around each meso- and metacoxa ( Figs 20D,  21I); pregenital setae numbering 3 pairs; antenna 7 or 8 segmented ( Fig. 21L); and legs without tibio-tarsal articulatory scleroses ( Figs 20E, 21H) (partially adopted from Hodgson 1994).    Material examined. 25 ♀♀, LAOS, Phou Khao Khuay National Bio-DiversityConservation Area, Thaphabath Dist., Bolikhamsai Prov., 4.v.2015, coll. J.Y. Choi, on  Ficus benghalensisL. ( Moraceae).   Hosts.Polyphagous. According to García Morales et al. (2016),  C. formicariihas been recorded from plants belonging to 44 genera in 30 families.   Distribution.Mainly known from Madagascan and OrientalRegions ( India, Indonesia, Malaysia,  SriLanka, Taiwanand Thailand) ( García Morales et al. 2016); Laos(new country record).  Economic importance. Evans & Dooley (2013)recorded  C. formicariias a frequently intercepted species at U.S.ports and a potential threat to the U.S.A.; however, heavy infestations on its hosts have not yet been reported.   Remarks.  Coccus formicariiis most similar to  C. multisetusWang & Feng, but differs from it in having 3 pairs of pregenital setae and in lacking ventral tubular ducts in submarginal areas. In contrast,  C. multisetushas only 2 pairs of pregenital setae and ventral tubular ducts sparsely present in submarginal areas ( Wang & Feng 2012a). 1918155441 [199,1436,1947,1972] Laos Phou Khao Khuay National Bio-Diversity Khao Khuay National Bio-Diversity Conservation Area 24 25 25 25
