Planococcus bengkuluensis sp.nov. is most closed to P. bagmaticus Williams in having multilocular disc pores on dorsum and translucent pores present on hind coxa and hind tibia. However, P. bengkuluensis can be distinguished from P. bagmaticus in having (character states for P. bagmaticus given in parentheses): (i) dorsal multilocular disc pores present sparsely distributed on central abdominal segments IV–VI only (sparsely distributed on thorax and abdomen); (ii) dorsal oral collar tubular d

The new species of Chorizococcus ozeri is most similar to C. srinagaricusin having no oral rim tubular ducts on the venter; dorsal rim tubular ducts few, present mainly either in medial areas or marginal areas. However, C. ozerican be distinguished from C. srinagaricusin having (character states for C. srinagaricusgiven in parentheses): (i) oral rim tubular ducts present mainly in marginal areas of dorsum (mainly in medial areas of dorsum); (ii) oral collar tubular ducts absent on dorsum

Dysmicoccus zeynepaeZarkani & Kaydan is a new species found by researchers from University of Bengkulu and Cukurova University in 2023. It is most similar to D. finitimus in having anal lobe and other abdominal cerarii each containing a group of about 2?7 conical setae. However, D. zeynepae can be readily distinguished from D. finitimus in having: (i) no multilocular disc pores and oral collar tubular ducts on dorsum; and (ii) a few multilocular disc pores without oral collar tubular ducts

Planococcus bendovi Williams (Hemiptera: Coccomorpha: Pseudococcidae) is a mealybug species that holotype and paratypes specimens were only recorded from India as a single slide. A series of surveys have been set up in Bengkulu province, Indonesia in 2021 and recorded the occurrence of P. bendovi in the country. The species was found on the leaves, trunks, and branches of a semi-parasitic plant, Loranthus pentandrus L. (Loranthaceae). This is the first report on P. bendovi in Indon

The occurrence of mealybug species, Ferrisa dasylirii (Cockerell) (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae) was first reported in Southern Asia as well as in Indonesia. It was found on Durio zibethinus Murray (Malvaceae), Gliricidia sepium (Jacq.) (Fabaceae), Hibiscus spp. (Malvaceae), Psidium guajava L. (Myrtaceae), Solanum torvum Swartz (Solanaceae), and Theobroma cacao L. (Malvaceae) at some regencies in Bengkulu Province, Southern Sumatra, Indonesia.Source: https://ejournal.ukm.my/serangga/article/view/3

The first presence of Rastrococcus tropicasiaticus Williams (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae) in Indonesia was found by entomologists in Bengkulu University, Bengkulu province, southern Sumatra -INDONESIA in mid-2020. The species hosts Azadirachta excelsa (Meliaceae), Cerbera manghas (Apocynaceae), Dimocarpus longan (Sapindaceae), Ficus sp. (Moraceae), and Tectona grandis L. (Lamiaceae) with 30% to 80% attacks.Source: https://ejournal.ukm.my/serangga/article/view/46502
