Remarks
- Systematics: Adult female C. insolita can be distinguished from C. elusine (the two species of Coccidohystrix in the Oriental region) as follows (character states of C. elusine given in parentheses): cerarii numbering 17 pairs (18 pairs); dorsum without oral collar tubular ducts (with oral collar tubular ducts); claw with a denticle (claw without a denticle); and ventral multilocular disc pores present as far forwards as metathorax (multilocular pores confined to venter of abdominal segments VI-IX). (Sartiami, et al., 2022)
- Structure: Colour photograph given by Lit et al. (1998) and Moore, et al., 2014. 9-segmented; posterior ostioles present, anterior ostioles absent; cerarii on margins numbering 17 pairs, numerous dorsal cerarii present also, each cerarius consisting of 1-15 large conical setae situated on a sclerotized prominence, without any associated trilocular pores; legs well developed, each claw with a denticle present on plantar surface; circulus absent; anal lobes well developed, each with a sclerotized ventral bar; quinquelocular pores numerous on venter; multilocular disc pores numerous on venter of abdominal segments III-IX, a few also present on the venter of segments I and II and on the dorsum of segment VII; ventral oral collar ducts present on submargins of abdominal segments V-VIII; oral rim ducts absent entirely. (Moore, et al., 2014)
- Biology: Living on the leaves and stems of its host plant. Associated with Dolichoderus bituberculatus, Solenopsis geminata, Anaplolepis longipes.
- General Remarks: Description and illustration of adult female by Ferris (1954a), De Lotto (1964), Avasthi & Shafee (1987), Ghosh, A. B. & Ghose (1988), Williams & Watson (1988a), Lit et al. (1998) and by Williams (2004a). Good description and illustration of the adult male given by Afifi (1968).
