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).
