Diagnosis. Marginal setae mostly with bifid or fimbriate apices ( Fig. 50F ); with 17–23 setae present between anterior and posterior stigmatic clefts on each side ( Fig. 49E ). Venter with multilocular disc-pores abundant around vulvar area, plus a few pores present laterad of metacoxa ( Fig. 50I ); tubular ducts each with a narrow inner ductule, present in submarginal areas ( Figs 49C , 50L ) (partially adopted from Williams & Watson 1990 ; Choi & Lee 2017b ). Material examined. 5 ♀♀, LAOS, Wattay International Airport, Sikhottabong Dist., Vientiane Capital, 30.iv.2015 , coll. J.Y. Choi, on Dieffenbachia seguine (Jacq.) Schott (Araceae) . Hosts. Polyphagous. According to García Morales et al . (2016) , S. miranda has been recorded from plants belonging to 58 genera in 26 families. Distribution. All zoogeographical regions; Oriental Region ( India , Indonesia and Taiwan ) ( García Morales et al . 2016 ); Laos (new country record). Economic importance. Dean & Hart (1972) considered S. miranda to be a potential pest of citrus in Texas , and it was described as a common pest of ornamental plants in Florida ( Hamon & Williams 1984 ). Remarks. Saissetia miranda was synonymized with S. oleae (Olivier) but was subsequently reinstated as a valid species based on the different numbers of marginal setae ( De Lotto 1969 ). It has 17–23 marginal setae between anterior and posterior stigmatic clefts on each side, whereas S. oleae has only 5–13 setae in this position.
