“ Steatococcus ” hystrix Gavrilov-Zimin & Stekolshikov

The genus Steatococcus is a junior synonym of Crypticerya, a Neotropical genus (Unruh & Gullan 2008). The correct generic placement of the African species “ Steatococcus ” hystrix (Fig. 13) therefore requires further research. It is close to Gigantococcus in possessing compound multilocular pores on the body margins and ventral submargins, 11 antennal segments, 3 pairs of abdominal spiracles, 3 circuli and a marsupium, and in lacking open-centre pores. It differs from all other African Iceryini in having numerous thick spiniform setae on the dorsum; in life, the body is evenly covered with soft, loose wax. The species is only known from Mali on Combretum glutinosum (Combretaceae) (Gavrilov-Zimin & Stekolshikov 2018).
