Remarks
- Systematics: Subfamily: Pseudococcinae (Choi & Lee, 2022) This genus is close to the genus Porisaccus Hendricks & Kosztarab (1999) in bag-like metathoracic legs, but can be easily distinguished by having tubular ducts, prothoracic and mesothoracic legs, and 2 or 3-segmented antennae. The genus is also similar to Paraserrolecanium Wu (2010) but differ from the later by having 2 or 3 segmented antennae and bag-like metathoracic legs. (Lu & Wu, 2011)
- Structure: Adult female antennae 2-3-segmented. Two anterior pairs of legs reduced to minute cuticular estiges; hind legs replace by bog-like structures, covered by microtubular ducts. (Danzig & Gavrilov-Zimin, 2015)
- General Remarks: Detailed description, illustrations and photographs in Lu & Wu, 2011.
