Remarks
- Systematics: Among coffee soft scale pests in Laos, Coccus celatus is similar to Coccus viridis.but is easily separated by having multilocular disc-pores mostly each with 10-12 loculi, and ventral tubular ducts each with a filamentous inner ductule present in submarginal areas of the abdomen. In contrast, C. viridis has multilocular disc-pores mostly each with 7 loculi and ventral tubular ducts each with a broad inner ductule mainly distributed in medial areas of the thorax. (Choi, et al., 2018)
- Biology: De Lotto (1960) observed the ant Macromischoides aculeatum in Uganda, constructing shelter to protect this soft scale. Buckley and Gullan (1991) showed, in Papua New Guinea, that attendance by the aggressive ant, Solenopsis geminata (Fabricius) reduced the rate of parasitization. Biology and pest status on coffee presented by Le Pelley (1968).
- Economic Importance: Regarded a coffee pest in Papua New Guinea (Williams, 1982a).
- General Remarks: Description and illustration of adult female by De Lotto (1960), Williams & Watson (1990) and by Granara de Willink et al. (2010).
