Lecanium capparidis Green, 1904b: 187 View in CoL .
Diagnosis. Dorsum with setae clavate ( Fig. 17C View FIGURE 17 ); tubular ducts absent; duct tubercles present ( Fig. 17B View FIGURE 17 ); and preopercular pores present anterior to anal plates ( Fig. 17D View FIGURE 17 ). Marginal setae spinose, with pointed or slightly fimbriate apices ( Fig. 17J View FIGURE 17 ). 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 View FIGURE 17 ); tubular ducts each with a narrow inner ductule, restricted to submarginal area of abdomen ( Fig. 17G View FIGURE 17 ); pregenital setae numbering 1 or 2 pairs; antenna 6 or 7 segmented ( Fig. 17K View FIGURE 17 ); and legs without tibio-tarsal articulatory scleroses ( Fig. 17H View FIGURE 17 ) (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 malabarica Roxb. (Fabaceae) .
Hosts. Polyphagous. According to García Morales et al. (2016), C. capparidis has been recorded from plants belonging to 32 genera in 21 families.
Distribution. All zoogeographical regions; Oriental Region ( Hong Kong, India and Sri Lanka) ( García Morales et al. 2016); Laos (new country record).
Economic importance. Coccus capparidis has 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 Israel it mostly infests citrus.
