Description
Summary:Two new mealybug species, Zhang, and Zhang, , collected from Jiangxi, South China, are described and illustrated based on the morphology of adult females. is similar to (Brain, 1915), but it differs in having fewer pairs of cerarii, and in lacking both ventral oral collar tubular ducts on the margins of the head and translucent pores on the hind femur. resembles Williams, 2004 and (Lit, 1992), but it differs in lacking ventral oral collar tubular ducts on the margins of the head and in having multilocular disc-pores usually in double rows at the posterior edges of abdominal segments V and VI. A key to the species found in China is provided.
