Remarks

Systematics: In slide-mounted adult females from the Oriental region, this is the only species of Paracoccus that totally lacks oral rim ducts in the sub-median or median areas of the dorsum. (Muniappan, et al., 2009) Diagnostic characteristics of the slide-mounted adult female: members of the genus Paracoccus possess up to 18 pairs of cerarii on body margins, eight-segmented antennae, ventral anal lobe bars, translucent pores on the hind coxa and usually on the tibia; auxiliary setae are present in the anal lobe cerarii only, and oral rim ducts are present some-where on the body. [P. marginatus differs from other members of the genus as follows: dorsal surface with short, slender setae; cerarii numbering 16 or 17 pairs only; oral rim tubular ducts restricted to marginal areas of dorsum and venter; hind leg with translucent pores present on coxa only (Williams & Granara de Willink (1992); Miller & Miller (2002)). The eight-segmented antenna distinguishes this species from the pink hibiscus mealybug, Maconellicoccus hirsutus (Green), which has a nine-segmented antenna. Miller & Miller (2002).
Structure: The live adult female is soft, oval, (about 2.5 mm long and 1.5 mm wide) and is evenly covered in powdery, white wax, without any longitudinal depressions. Short waxy filaments develop around the body margin including short caudal filaments. The body contents are yellow in life but turn black in less than one day after death, even when preserved in alcohol. Muniappan, et al., 2009) Colour photograph by Heu et al. (2007). Germain et al. (2010) presented colour photo of damaged papaya fruits. Adult male P. marginatus is a sexual species. The adult male appeared yellow and was approximately 1.0mm long, with an elongate oval body widest at the thorax (about 0.3mm). The antennae are 10-segmented; the thorax and head were heavily sclerotized, and the wings were well developed; the genital capsule is distinctly sclerotized, and a pair of lateral pore clusters occurred near the apex of the abdomen. The lateral pore clusters secreted a pair of white wax caudal filaments in life. (Galanihe, et al., 2010) The eggs were rhombus in shape and greenish yellow in color (Fig. 1a). The females laid eggs in an ovisac on the ventral side of the body. Incubation period of eggs was recorded 4.9±1.50 days. Freshly emerged first instar nymph were rhombus in shape and light yellow in color. Second instar female nymph were rhombus shaped and yellow colored. Second instar female nymph took 4.4±1.07days to convert itself to third instar. Third instar females were also rhombus in shape and yellow in color and complete its development within 6.2±1.3 days. The second instar male nymph of P. marginatus was pinkish in color with yellowish pattern. It completed its development in 4.3±1.9 days. Third instar male nymphs were pink and diamond shaped. Duration of third instar male was recorded 3.2±0.95 days. At the end of developmental period of third instar, males nymph started making cocoons which are cylindrical in shape and white in color. It took 5.6±0.43 days to change into matured adult. (Munwar, et al., 2016)
Biology: Paracoccus marginatus reproduces sexually. There are three nymphal instars and no pupal stage in the wingless female, and eggs are laid in a small, white ovisac of woolly wax. The winged male has two nymphal stages, a pre-pupa and a pupal stage. There are several generations per year. (Muniappan, et al., 2009) Population build-up is weather dependent as there is a significant positive correlation with maximum temperature and significantly negative correlation with relative humidity and rainfall. (Seni & Sahoo, 2015) In polyphagus insects, life history can vary with the plant species it feeds on. From the experiment on the biology of P. marginatus by Seni & Sahoo, on parthenium, it was found that the female nymphs moulted three times for becoming adults, while the male required four moultings. The sex ratio of female and male was 1.97 : 1 in a population of 101 mealybugs on potted papaya plant. It was also found that they reproduced entirely sexually. The females laid 247-332 (291±33.31) eggs within 4-9 (6.2±0.82) days. Based on the studies of papaya mealybug on three different host plants, it can be inferred that papaya plant is the preferred host than brinjal and parthenium plant. (Seni & Sahoo, 2015)
Economic Importance: Paracoccus marginatus is a major threat to the ecological, social, and economic wellbeing of people in the countries it invades. Though the pest prefers papaya, it is extremely polyphagous, The situation is compounded by the fact that farmers practice mixed cropping of known hosts of the pest on the same pieces of land, thus ensuring continuous availability of alternative hosts for easy perpetuation. It is estimated that Kenya loses more than USD 29.8 million annually to papaya mealybug damage with individual households losing between USD 51–740 depending on locality and market available to them (Ndlela, et al., 2022) Sooty mold developing on honeydew excreted by this mealybug covers the leaves, fruits and stems, impeding photosynthesis and gaseous exchange. On papaya, P. marginatus infests the veins of older leaves, which turn yellow, dry up and are shed prematurely, and all parts of young leaves and fruits. Tender leaves become crinkled and curly; flowers and young fruits drop and shoots become bunchy. Papaya trees die within a few months of becoming infested. Infestation of Plumeria causes the leaves to curl and new leaves fail to expand fully. On Hibiscus, leaves and flowers attacked by PM become distorted and the shoots appear bunchy.(Muniappan, et al., 2009). Muniappan et al. (2006) reported on successful biological control of this species in the Republic of Palau, following the introduction of three species of encyrtid parasitoids.
General Remarks: Description and illustration of adult female by Williams & Granara de Willink (1992). Description and illustration of adult female, adult male, nymphs, prepupa and pupa by Miller & Miller (2002). Ahmed, et al. 2015 analyzed the genetic identities of Chinese populations of P. marginatus and compared them with genetic identities of P. marginatus populations from 6 other countries in Asia and Africa. The results indicated that only 1 haplotype is present across all sampled countries
