Heterococcus Ferris, 1918 (Pseudococcidae)Nomenclatural History
- Heterococcus Ferris 1918d: 65. Type species: Heterococcus arenae Ferris by monotypy and original designation . accepted valid name
- Stachycoccus Borchsenius 1962a: 240. Type species: Stachycoccus caulicola Borchsenius by original designation . junior synonym (discovered by DanzigGa2012a: 782-783)
Remarks
- Systematics: Subfamily Phenacoccinae
Comparison with related genera given by Miller & McKenzie (1970). Danzig & Gavrilov-Zamin (2013) determined that there was no morphological differences between Stachycoccus and Heterococcus and, therefore, synonymized them.
- Structure: Body of female oval or oblong-oval, anal lobes not distinct. Antennae usually 8 or 9-segmented (rarely 6 or 7-segmented). Legs short, with fine segments. Claw with small denticle. Anterior and posterior ostioles well developed. Multilocular pores situated on both sides of body or only on ventral side (absent only in H. biporus Goux). Quinquelocular pores numerous on both sides of body. Trilocular pores absent. Tubular ducts narrow. Cerarii forming 1-4 pairs at end of abdomen, also occasionally C3 present. Abdominal cerarii formed by 2 conical setae and quinquelocular pores; as an exception (in H. nudus), in addition to quinquelocular pores, 1 trilocular pore occasionally present in C18. Dorsal setae conical or flagellate. (Danzig & Zamin, 2013)
The coloration in the monotypic genus Paramococcus is unknown. Females of the monotypic genus Laingiococcus vary in body color from yellow to reddish-brown in life (Williams and Watson 1988). Females of the genera Brevennia and Heterococcus are yellow or pink in life (Danzig and Gavrilov-Zimin,2014).
- General Remarks: Good definition and characters given by Morrison (1945), Borchsenius (1949), Ferris (1953a), Williams (1961, 1962, 1970DJ), McKenzie (1967), Miller & McKenzie (1970), Ter-Grigorian (1973), Miller (1975), Tereznikova (1975), Danzig (1980b) and by Kosztarab (1996).
