Remarks
- Systematics: The number of multilocular pores and tubular ducts is greater in females collected in the eastern part of the species distribution. In addition to pore and duct number, the size of cerarian conical setae often varies. Based on series of D. walkeri from Sochi with and without a circulus and the type series of D. rectus, Danzig & Gavrilov-Zimin (2015) determined that the intraspecific variation of this character does not define distinct species, but indicates a continuum. Therefore, they confirmed the previous synonymization of D. kazanskyi, D. rectus, D. gladularis and D. badachschanicus by Danzig (2009). They also added D. pietroi as a junior synonym, stating that they could find no differences in the original description and figure by Marotta except for the absence of a circulus. However, until the type specimens of D. pietroi have been compared with those of D. walkeri, we have decided to keep these species separate in ScaleNet.
- Structure: Living adult female body elongate oval, about 2.5–4.0 mm long and 1.0–1.7 mm wide, with segmentation distinct. Antennae and legs pale yellow-brown, covered with dense white powdery wax; cottony wax appendages on margins stout, with the posteriormost six longer and stouter than the others, the penultimate pair longest (as long as body width) and very stout (Williams 1962). Adult female of Dysmicoccus walkeri from Japan. Body elongate oval, derm membranous, about 2.5–4.0 mm long and 1.0–1.7 mm wide; segmentation distinct. Anal lobe distinct, each ventral surface with a weakly sclerotized area and a long apical seta 181– 210 μm. Antennae with 8 segments and many long hair-like setae; with 3 fleshy setae on apical segments and a fleshy setae on subapical segments. Legs well-developed, with many long setae. (Tanaka, 2017a)
- Biology: Occurring on the leaves and in leaf sheaths. Life history discussed by Kosztarab & Kozár (1988F).
- General Remarks: Description and illustration of adult female by Sulc (1937), Borchsenius (1949), Williams (1962), Bazarov (1977), Nurmamatov (1978), Danzig (1980b), Kosztarab & Kozár (1988F), Marotta (1992a), Tang (1992).
