Systematics: Perissopneumon kalyaniense and P. ferox are similar in having a single, unique type of abundantly distributed dermal pore that has four rim loculi and a tri-angular centre, an important character state that distinguishes them from other species of Perissopneumon. Perissopneumon kalyaniense resembles P. ferox in having three ventral cicatrices. However, P. kalyaniense is easily distinguished from P. ferox by the following combination of features (character states of P. ferox in parenthesis): (i) ventral derm with 4–6 rim loculi (4–8 rim loculi); (ii) Anal tube long (short), with a pear-shaped opening (circular opening), and anal opening ring having wax pores arranged mostly in a single row, some points with double pore width. (Das & Das, 2022)
Structure: Adult females are large, broadly elongaled oval with anterior end sinuate, posterior end rounded and dorsum convex; covered with a whitish mealy powder. Body colour dull orange, legs and antennae deep brown, and eyes dark brown. (Das & Das, 2022)
Biology: Adult females found on twigs and small stems of the host. (Das & Das, 2022)
