Taxonomy. Pseudococcus (Dactylopius) vovae Nasonov 1909: 484 . Type data. POLAND: Skolimov, on Juniperus . Planococcus vovae ( Nasonov, 1909) ; Danzig 1980: 168, change of combination.

Host plants in Egypt. Cupressus macrocarpa ( Halima-Kamel et al. 2019) .

Distribution in Egypt. Not known to occur in Egypt. The report of this species in Egypt by Halima-Kamel et al. (2019) was based on a record given in Abd-Rabou et al. (2012) of which the DNA sample for this species was from France as opposed to Egypt. This species is present in many European countries and may eventually be found in Egypt.

Remarks. This species is usually found on evergreens in the Cupressaceae and Taxaceae families, but has also been recorded on Araceae , Lauraceae and Moraceae species. It is widely distributed in Europe and also occurs in China. Williams and Granara de Willink (1992) also provided a good illustration of the species.
