Marginal setae spinose, with pointed or slightly fimbriate apices ( Fig. 17J). Venter with multilocular disc-pores each usually with 7 or 8 loculi, frequent around vulvar area, less frequently present on anterior area of abdomen ( Fig. 17F); tubular ducts each with a narrow inner ductule, restricted to submarginal area of abdomen ( Fig. 17G); pregenital setae numbering 1 or 2 pairs; antenna 6 or 7 segmented ( Fig. 17K); and legs without tibio-tarsal articulatory scleroses ( Fig. 17H) (partially adopted from Williams & Watson 1990; Wang & Feng 2012a).   Material examined.2 ♀♀, LAOS, Saysetha Dist., Vientiane Capital, 24.vii.2016, coll. P.P. Soysouvanh, on  Bauhinia malabaricaRoxb. (Fabaceae).   Hosts.Polyphagous. According to García Morales et al. (2016),  C. capparidishas been recorded from plants belonging to 32 genera in 21 families.   Distribution.All zoogeographical regions;  OrientalRegion( Hong Kong, Indiaand  SriLanka) ( García Morales et al. 2016); Laos(new country record).  Economic importance.  Coccus capparidishas been listed as a potential pest of citrus in Egypt( Morse et al. 1996); also, Ben-Dov (1980)and Blumberg & Swirski (1984)reported that in Israelit mostly infests citrus.   Remarks.  Coccus capparidisdiffers from other Lao species of  Coccusin possessing ventral tubular ducts in the submarginal areas of the abdomen only.
