Taxonavigation

Ordo: Hemiptera
Familia: Coccidae

Name

Pulvinaria Targioni Tozzetti, 1866: 146. – Wikispecies link – Pensoft Profile

Type species

Coccus vitis Linnaeus, 1758: 456. By original designation and monotypy.
The new species described below is a typical member of the tribe Pulvinariini and the subfamily Coccinae, based on the definition of the tribe Pulvinariini presented by Hodgson (1994). The present species keys out to the genus Pulvinaria in Hodgson’s keys to subfamilies, tribes and genera of Coccidae (Hodgson 1994) and fits into his Pulvinaria-group, in which tubular ducts are scarce or absent on the head. However, here we treat the genus in the broad sense, as explained in the Materials and methods section.

Key to Colombian species of the genus Pulvinaria

Key to Colombian species of the genus Pulvinaria — H. Tanaka , T. Kondo

1		Most marginal setae with bifid, frayed, fimbriate, or finely split apices    2
–		Most marginal setae with sharply or rather bluntly pointed apices    3
2		Ventral tubular ducts in submarginal area of head frequent and broadly distributed. Multilocular pores mainly each with 9–11 loculi. Marginal setae usually strongly fimbriate; setal collar of most setae narrower than setal tip. Spiracles of mature specimens usually surrounded by a strongly sclerotized crescentic plate    psidii
–		Ventral tubular ducts in submarginal area of head scarce or absent except in area near margin. Multilocular pores mainly each with 6–7 loculi. Marginal setae usually slightly to moderately fimbriate. Spiracles of mature specimens not surrounded by a strongly sclerotized crescentic plate    urbicola
3		Submarginal area of head and thorax with ventral tubular ducts numerous and widespread. Dorsal setae lanceolate, each seta with a marked constriction at base. Body shape usually conspicuously elongate oval    4
–		Submarginal (and marginal) area of head and thorax without ventral tubular ducts. Multilocular pores mainly each with five loculi. Dorsal setae spiniform, each seta without a marked constriction at base. Body shape oval rather than elongate    caballeroramosae sp. n.
4		Multilocular pores absent medially on thorax. Ventral tubular ducts present medially on thorax between mesothoracic and metathoracic coxae    iceryi
–		Multilocular pores present medially on thorax between mesothoracic and metathoracic coxae. Ventral tubular ducts absent medially on thorax    elongata

Notes

Morphological character states used for separating Pulvinaria iceryi from Pulvinaria elongata were taken from Mamet (1958). Character states of Pulvinaria urbicola and Pulvinaria psidii were taken from Williams and Watson (1990) and based also on the first author’s personal observations of slide-mounted specimens collected in Japan.
