Remarks

• Systematics: Ortheziolacoccus jermyi is similar to O. matileferreroae by having no spines surrounding coxae, a broad dorsomedial bare area and few multilocular pores near the thoracic spiracles. O. jermyi differs by having the spiracular multilocular pores with 5 or 6 loculi, wax plates present along the ventral body margin, the apical antennal segment about 240 um long and the trochanter-femur of the hind leg about 350 um. O. matileferreroae has the spiracular multilocular pores with 8-10 loculi, the wax plates restricted to the ventral area surrounding the thoracic spiracles, the apical antennal segment about 360 um long and the trochanter-femur of the hind leg about 430 um long (Kozár & Miller, 2000).
• Structure: Unmounted adult female with marginal half of dorsum covered with white wax protrusions; broad band on midline of the dorsum bare, white (Kozár & Miller, 2000).
• Biology: Ortheziolacoccus jermyi was collected at an elevation of 1800 m (Kozár & Miller, 2000).
• General Remarks: Original description and illustration by Kozár & Miller (2000). Change of combination, redescription and illustration by Kozár (2004).
