Systematics: Although Danzig & Gavrilov-Zimin, 2015:476, state that Tang, 1992 transferred P. tremae to Planococcus, they do not include this in their nomenclature section and we do not find this transfer in Tang's The Pseudoccidae of China. They proceed to transfer it to Nipaecoccus. We hesitate to make this transfer in ScaleNet without an integrated morphological and molecular analyses of the species.
General Remarks: Good description of the adult female given by Tang (1992).
