Tasmania, Victoria


SYSTEMATICS

Adult females of Subcorticoccus can be distinguished from those of other Australian genera of Eriococcidae by the combination of a tapered abdomen, a mediolongitudinal band of microtrichia on the head and anterior thorax, a pair of oval frontal lobes, very small legs relative to the size of the body, a ventral and noncellular anal ring, all body setae flagellate and mostly less than 15 um long, very slender macrotubular ducts distributed over both dorsum and venter, ventral bands of clustered quinquelocular pores on the posterior abdomen and sometimes scattered quinquelocular pores on the body margin, and the absence of anal lobes and microtubular ducts. First-instar nymphs and a single prepupal male are known only for S. beardsleyi. The male nymph is too poorly preserved to describe adequately (Gullan, P.J. 1999. A new genus of subcortical coccoids (Hemiptera: Coccoidea: Eriococcidae) on Eucalyptus. Memoirs of Museum Victoria 57(2): 241–250).
