Remarks
- Systematics: The description of the synonym Monophlebus stebingii octocaudata was from the male only (Green, 1908a). Phylogenetic analysis confirms that the mango mealybug belongs to the family Monophlebidae. Minor genetic differences in both the ITS1 and the COI barcode region were noted among D. mangiferae collected from different geographic localities. These genetic differences revealed the existence of two genotypes of D. mangiferae that are region specific but not host-specific. (Ashfaq, et al., 2011)
- Economic Importance: This species has been reported as pest of mango in India (Atwal et al., 1969), of citrus in Madhya Pradesh, India (Saxena & Rawat, 1968, 1968a), of Tamarindus indicus and Cassia fistula in Uttar Pradesh, India (Lal et al., 1977) and of mango in Pakistan (Karar et al., 2010).
