Remarks
- Structure: Colour photograph given by McKenzie (1967) and by Zahradnik (1990). Manichote & Middlekauff (1967) reported (as S cactearum) chromosome number 2n=20.
- Biology: Life history under greenhouse conditions in California studied by Manichote & Middlekauff (1967). Develops one annual generation in greenhouse at Napoli, Italy; female overwinters as third nymph and male as pupa (Marotta, 1991).
- Economic Importance: A common pest of ornamental succulent plants (Manichote & Middlekauff, 1967; Marotta, 1991). The general appearance of damaged host plants described by Manichote & Middlekauff (1967).
- General Remarks: Good description of the adult female given by Borchsenius (1949). Good description and illustration of the adult female given by McKenzie (1960, 1967), Williams (1962) (both as Spilococcus cactearum), Tereznikova (1983) (as P. mamillariae), Cox (1987) (as C. leucopogi), Zahradník (1990) (as S. leucopogi and by Williams & Granara de Willink (1992). Good description and illustration of the larval instars and adult male given by Manichote & Middlekauff (1967) (as S. cactearum).
