Remarks

• Systematics: Ortheziolacoccus ethiopiensis is similar to O. matileferreroae by having small mediolateral wax plates on the dorsum, the wax plates absent from around coxae, and the wax plates restricted to area around thoracic spiracles on the thoracic venter. O. ethiopiensis differs from O. matileferreroae by having 7-14 multilocular pores near each thoracic spiracle, incomplete rows of multiloculars near the spine bands in the ovisac area, and the setae on the antennae hairlike. O. matileferreroae has 1-3 multilocular pores near each thoracic spiracle, complete rows of multiloculars near the spine bands in the ovisac area and the setae on the antennae spinelike (Kozár & Miller, 2000).
• Structure: Unmounted female two-thirds of marginal surface of dorsum covered with white wax protrusions; broad band on midline of the dorsum bare, white (Kozár & Miller, 2000).
• Biology: Specimens have been found in forest litter (Kozár, 2004).
• General Remarks: Original description and illustration by Kozár & Miller (2000). Change of combination, redescription and illustration by Kozár (2004).
