Icerya hanoiensis Jashenko & Danzig 1992

Description

Icerya hanoiensis Jashenko & Danzig

Icerya hanoiensis Jashenko & Danzig, 1992: 90.

Diagnosis (adapted from Jashenko & Danzig, 1992). Appearance of adult female in life unknown. Slidemounted adult female oval (holotype 3.7 mm long). Antennae 11 segmented, basal segment widest, apical segment elongate; each segment covered with hair-like setae. Legs as for tribe. Hair-like setae scattered over entire body, longest around margin. Open-centre pores, each with 20–30 outer loculi, present around margin of body and in transverse rows on dorsum. Simple multilocular pores of two types: larger pores, each with bilocular centre and 10–15 outer loculi, and smaller pores, each with bilocular centre and 7–8 outer loculi. Ovisac band made of both types of simple multilocular pores. Simple multilocular pores present in wide transverse bands on dorsum and submarginal abdomen. Cicatrices (=“abdominal stigmata”) numbering 3, central cicatrix largest. Anal opening surrounded by long, hair-like setae.

Type data. VIETNAM: Hanoi, Decorative Plants Nursery, ex Citrus sp., 3.i.1986 (G. Konstantinova & M. Kravchenko) (preparation number 40–88).

Type material. Holotype: ad ♀ (ZMAS).

Taxonomic notes. Refer to I. seychellarum group for discussion of similar species.

In the Systematic Remarks section of the original description, Jashenko and Danzig (1992: 7) stated that I. hanoiensis differs from all species of Icerya by the presence of open-centre pores in transverse rows on the dorsal surface. We suspect I. hanoiensis is a synonym of either I. seychellarum or I. crocea. The description and illustration of the open-centre pores are closer to I. crocea, but I. seychellarum is a common pest and this species was collected on Citrus sp. in a plant nursery in Vietnam. As we were unable to examine the holotype, we refrain from making a synonymy.

The World Catalogue incorrectly listed Konstantinova & Danzig as collectors (Ben-Dov, 2005: 197). The collectors as listed in the original description are G. Konstantinova and M. Kravchenko (Jashenko & Danzig, 1992: 90).
