Remarks

• Systematics: Ortheziolacoccus giliomeei is similar to O. nelliae by having the wax plates absent from the dorsomedial areas of the thorax and abdomen (plates 8, 9, 10) and the wax plates absent from around the coxae (plates 13, 17 and 18). O. giliomeei differs from O. nelliae by having 5-12 multilocular pores near each thoracic spiracle, the apical antennal segment about 330 um long and the hind tibia-tarsus about 530 um long. O. nelliae has 17-20 multilocular pores near each thoracic spiracle, the apical antennal segment about 580 um long and the hind tibia-tarsus about 850 um long (Kozár & Miller, 2000).
• Structure: Two-thirds of the dorsum of unmounted adult female is covered with white, wax protrusions; with 4 distinct mediolateral wax protrusions on each side of body; band on midline of dorsum bare (Kozár & Miller, 2000).
• Biology: Ortheziolacoccus giliomeei has been collected at an elevation of 2120 m (Kozár & Miller, 2000) in forest litter and moss (Kozár, 2004).
