Ortheziolacoccus mahunkai differs from O. williamsi by having 3 rows of pores in the anal ring, hairlike setae on the antennae, the apical antennal segment about 480 um long and the tibia-tarsus about 650 um long. Ortheziola williamsi has 2 rows of pores in the anal ring, spinelike setae on the antennae, the apical antennal segment about 240 um long and the tibia-tarsus about 380 um long (Kozár & Miller, 2000).
- Structure: Unmounted adult female with most of dorsum covered with white, wax protrusions; with 3 distinct mediolateral wax protrusions on each side of body; band on midline of the dorsum bare (Kozár & Miller, 2000).
