Archanginella Danzig & Gavrilov-Zamin, 2013 (Pseudococcidae)

Archanginella Danzig & Gavrilov-Zamin 2013a: 563. Type species: Archanginella kyzylkumina Danzig & Gavrilov-Zamin . accepted valid name

Systematics: The genus Archanginella differs from all the other mealybugs except Kalaginella with reduced cerarii and anal apparatus in the presence of quinquelocular pores instead of multilocular and trilocular ones. However, these quinquelocular pores and tubular ducts in Archanginella and Kalaginella differ fundamentally. Tubular ducts simple, without collar. Quinquelocular pores large, corresponding in size to usual multilocular pores of mealybugs in Kalaginella Tubular ducts with deep and wide collar almost totally closing the duct. Quinquelocular pores small, corresponding in size to usual quinquelocular pores of mealybugs in Archanginella.
Structure: Legs normally developed; claw without denticle. Ostioles, 1 pair (posterior). Anal apparatus simplified, consisting of sclerotized ring with several pores and 6 shortened setae; 2 posterior ducts small, with deep collar. Cerarii and conical setae absent. Both sides of body with short flagellate setae. pairs of setae of anal ring situated closely to each other. Multilocular and trilocular pores absent. Quinquelocular pores abundant, similar in size to those in various genera of subfamily Phenacoccinae; their diameter subequal to length of tubular ducts. Tubular ducts small, with deep collar. Cerarii and conical setae absent. Both sides of body with short flagellate setae. (Danzig & Gavrilov, 2013a)
