Zheng, X., Li, J., & Wu, S.A. 2023 Morphology of the preadult stages of Coronaproctus castanopsis Li, Xu & Wu (Hemiptera: Coccomorpha: Monophlebidae). Zootaxa 5352(4): 537–552

  • Notes: Morphological characteristics of immature stages have been proven helpful in determining relationships within the family Diaspididae. In the present paper, we describe and illustrate the first- and second-instar nymphs, third-instar male and female nymphs, and the male pupa of Coronaproctus castanopsis, Monophlebidae. A key to separate these developmental stages is provided.
