Remarks
- Structure: Female body broadly oval, up to 2 mm long. Antennae 1-segmented. Anal apparatus consists of anal ring with numerous pores, spinulae and 6 long setae each longer than diameter of anal ring. (Danzig & Gavrilov-Zimin, 2015)
- Biology: Occurring on root crowns and at the bases of the stems of grasses. Life history discussed by Kosztarab & Kozár (1988).
- General Remarks: Good description and distribution of the adult female given by Green (1934e), Sulc (1944), Afifi & Kosztarab (1967), Gomez-Menor Ortega (1968), Tereznikova (1975), Kosztarab (1996) and by Hendricks & Kosztarab (1999). Good description of the adult female given by Hall (1923), Borchsenius (1949) and by Danzig (1964).
The previously recorded mealybug Chaetococcus sulcii (Green) (Ben-Dov et al., 2011) proved to be an erroneous record for Sardinia. So far, C. sulcii is known in Italy only in Valle d’Aosta (North Italy) (Matile-Ferrero & Pellizzari, 2002) The host record of Crassulaceae (Danzig & Kozár, 1974) is questionable. (Hendricks & Kosztarab, 1999)
