Systematics: The new species is similar to Dorsoceraricoccus muajatae Williams, 2004; both species have cerarii and conical setae on the dorsum. Dorsoceraricoccus ningboensis can be separated from D. muajatae by the following features (condition of D. muajatae given in parentheses): (i) antennae with 7 segments (8 segments); (ii) oral collar tubular ducts of 2 sizes, distributed on both dorsum and venter (1 size, on venter only); (iii) dorsal cerarii each bearing not less than 2 conical setae (each mostly containing just 1 conical seta), only situated on midline from head to posterior abdominal segments, never on submedial and submarginal areas (present on most parts of dorsum); (iv) translucent pores present on hind coxa, not on hind femur or tibia (translucent pores absent from hind coxa, present on hind femur and tibia); (v) multilocular pores on venter of segments V or VI–VIII (multilocular pores on segments VII and VIII). (Dong, et al., 2017)
Structure: In life, body of adult female oval, dark reddish, with thick covering of white mealy wax and about 6 or 7 wax protuberances on midline of dorsum; also with 17 pairs of lateral wax filaments around body margin, caudal wax filaments obviously longer than the others. (Dong, et al., 2017)
