Comments.

Dysmicoccus zeynepae is a polyphagous species found on ornamental plants and tropical fruits such as Durio zibethinus Murray ( Malvaceae ), Lansium parasiticum Corrêa ( Meliaceae ), Manilkara zapota Linnaeus ( Sapotaceae ) and Coffea robusta Lindl. ex de williamson ( Rubiaceae ) ( Zarkani et al. 2023). The species is known to have some special features such as small legs, no multilocular disc pores and oral collar tubular ducts on dorsum, with a few multilocular disc pores without oral collar tubular ducts on venter and having translucent pores on the hind coxa and femur. This is the first report of Dysmicoccus infestation on Loranthaceae worldwide.
