Until the characters upon which these genera have been distinguished will be critically evaluated in a comprehensive revision, Caulococcus is regarded a subjective synonym of Phenacoccus (Ben-Dov, 1994).
SYSTEMATICS
Paroudablis is generally accepted as a subjective synonym of Phenacoccus.

BIOLOGY
This species is usually found on grasses, but frequently the adult females move onto adjacent trees to oviposit.
ECONOMIC AND CONTROL
Although this species does not appear to cause any damage, its presence under the calyxes of apples and pears grown for export has caused concern in Australia and New Zealand (see Ward, A. 1966. Mealybugs (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae) in Hawke's Bay orchards. New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research 9: 452–454).
