Material examined. YUNNAN : 16 ♀♀ , Baoshan, on unknown plant, 6.xi.2012 , coll. Xinlei Huang ; 12 ♀♀ , Mengzi, on Duranta repens , 17.iv.2013 , coll. Jun Deng, Xubo Wang, & Xu Zhang; 28 ♀♀ , Puer, on D. repens , 23–25.iv.2013 , coll. Jun Deng, Xubo Wang, & Xu Zhang. Distribution in China . Fujian , Guizhou , Guangdong , Jiangxi , Sichuan , Yunnan , Zhejiang ( Li et al. 2018 ). Host-plants. Conyaza japonica (Asteraceae) ; Bischofia javanica (Euphobiaceae) ; Cedrus deodara (Pinaceae) ; Pyrus sp. ( Rosaceae ); Hamelia patens (Rubiaceae) and Duranta repens (Verbenaceae) . Among those, Duranta repens is the preferred host ( Li et al. 2018 ). Biology. The adult females occur on the branches of the host. Remarks. This species was identified by comparison with Gimpel et al . (1974) ’s description and illustration. Ceroplastes cirripediformis differs from all other species discussed here from China in possessing clearly capitate dorsal setae. Its waxy test is similar to that of C. rusci , but C. cirripediformis can be easily distinguished from C. rusci by having an antenna with 7 segments and the dorsal pores predominantly trilocular ( C. rusci has an antenna with 6 segments and the dorsal pores predominantly bilocular).
