This species is worldwide in distribution and has been found on many hosts, most of which are in the families Poaceae or Cyperaceae. It was first reported in Egypt by Takahashi (1928). Mohammed et al. (1995) provided a redescription and illustration of the species. Williams (2001) provided descriptions, illustrations and a key to the African species of Antonina that included this species. This species is known as the “rhodesgrass scale” and is the most widespread and injurious species of the genus. It has been reported from most tropical and temperate areas, often causing damage to pasture and lawn grasses, and is often reported from bamboo species.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/153A6E2AFF83FFE56EA4FBCDFE7B3647	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Hall (1923) stated that this species was found between the leaf sheath and the parent stem of Imperata cylindrica. This species only has 2 pair of cerarii on the posteriormost abdominal segments (A7, A8). Williams and Granara de Willink (1992) separated Chorizococcus from Spilococcus based on the number of cerarii; Chorizococcus has fewer than 6 pairs and Spilococcus has 6 or more pairs. Danzig and Gavrilov-Zimin (2015) placed it in the genus Atrococcus, which according to Kosztarab and Kozar (1988) also has 1−7 pairs of cerarii but lacks a circulus (except in A. bejjienkoi) the latter is present or absent in Chorizococcus. There does not appear to be a clear morphological distinction between Chorizococcus and Atrococcus, however specimens of Atrococcus become black when placed in alcohol or KOH and Chorizococcus species presumably do not. This species is also similar to Vryburgia species in that it has 2 pairs of cerarii on the anal lobe (ac8) and penultimate segment (ac7) and oral rim ducts; however this species has a circulus which is absent in all known Vryburgia species. Based on what we know, it appears that this species is best placed in Atrococcus Goux, 1941 which has taxonomic priority of Chorizococcus McKenzie, 1960.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/153A6E2AFF82FFE46EA4FC9AFDFF366E	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Amonostherium arabicum Ezzat 1960a: 23.</p> <p>Diagnosis. Body of adult female broadly oval, membranous; cerarii present only on the anal lobes membranous, poorly developed with rounded posterior margin, each cerarius consisting of 2 conical-shaped setae, about 4 trilocular pores and a short spindle-shaped seta; antennae 6-segmented; legs relatively short and slender, translucent pores present on the hind tibiae, claws with a small denticle; circulus absent; dorsum with two well developed pairs of ostioles; anal ring situated a short distance from the apex of the abdomen, bearing 3 pairs of relatively short setae, about as long as the anal ring; cisanal and obanal setae short, each about 15 um long; dorsal setae short, spindle-shaped, as in Phenacoccus species; ventral setae on lateral and sublateral margin similar to dorsal setae, medial setae of venter long and flagellate; multilocular pores scattered sparsely on both the dorsum and venter of the cephalothorax and abdomen; oral collar tubular ducts sparsely distributed on dorsum and venter each sclerotized with the anterior end slightly more bulbous.</p> <p>Comments. Ezzat (1960a) assigned this species in the genus Amonostherium stating that “this species could be easily distinguished from any other species in the genus Amonostherium by having six-jointed antennae and two pairs of prominent ostioles”. He noted that “the inclusion of the species in the genus requires some extension in the limits of the genus concerning the presence or absence of ostioles and the number of antennal joints”. Species of Amonostherium are similar to Ezzatacoccus arabicus in that they have cerarii present on the anal lobes only, lack a circulus and have a claw denticle, but differ in that they have 7−8 segmented antennae, have either no ostioles or one pair of poorly developed ones on the abdomen, the dorsal setae flagellate, except for a few scattered spindle-shaped setae located medially, ventral setae similar in form and length, legs short and stout, multilocular pores present only on the venter and the oral collar tubular ducts of 2 sizes, one size more slender than the other but both are parallel sided. Ezzatacoccus has 6-segmented antennae, 2 pairs of prominent ostioles, the dorsal setae short and spindle-shaped (as in other Phenacoccinae), ventral setae of 2 kinds with those along the submargin and margin short and spindle-shaped similar to the dorsal setae and those located medially long and flagellate, legs short but slender, multilocular pores present on the venter and dorsum, oral collar tubular ducts of 1 size, one size being more bulbous, one size more slender than the other but both are parallel sided.</p> <p>Ezzatacoccus is also similar to Mirococcus Borchsenius, 1947 which has the posterior margin rounded, two pairs of prominent ostioles, a claw denticle, multilocular pores on both the venter and dorsum, but differs in that it has 7−9 segmented antennae, lacks cerarii, quinquelocular pores sometimes present and has short flagellate dorsal setae.</p> <p>Danzig and Gavrilov-Zimin (2014) transferred Amonostherium arabicum to the genus Phenacoccus Cockerell, 1893 stating that the species “is not related in our mind with the type (American) species of the genus Amonostherium, A. lichtensioides (Cockerell, 1897), but can be covered by the diagnosis of Phenacoccus accepted here”. Ezzatacoccus arabicus is similar to most Phenacoccus species in that it has short spindle-shaped dorsal setae and a claw denticle, but differs primarily by having 6-segmented antennae, cerarii present on the anal lobes only, and the posterior margin rounded whereas most species of Phenacoccus have 18 pairs of cerarii, but rarely fewer than 10 pairs; the anal lobes protruding so that the posterior margin is not rounded, and 9 segmented antennae (rarely 8 or fewer). Since Amonostherium arabicum Ezzat, 1960a has a unique combination of characters that do not clearly fit in any of these genera without greatly expanding the concept of the genus, we hereby erect a new genus.</p> <p>Etymology. Ezzatacoccus is named in honor of Yehia M. Ezzat for his numerous works on the scale insects of Egypt and the discovery of the type species; gender masculine.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/153A6E2AFF9CFFF96EA4F9C7FCBF3505	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Salsola imbricata (Priesner and Hosny 1935).</p> <p>Distribution. Egypt (Priesner and Hosny 1935).</p> <p>Remarks. Priesner and Hosny (1935) provided the following details of the species: antennae 7-segmented; tarsal claw with a denticle; translucent pores conspicuous on hind tibiae; anal ring feebly developed with 3 pairs of short setae (35μm); 3−4 pairs of cerarii, each with 2 stout spines; discoidal pores (probably refers to multilocular pores) in a sparse transverse series across the venter; micropores (probably refers to trilocular pores) absent even on anal lobes; and no translucent circular area (circulus) on the abdomen. Ezzat (1962d) stated that “a thorough search proved that no material of this species exists in the Coccid Collection of the Egyptian Ministry of Agriculture. Dr. Williams kindly examined a single transparent specimen of this species in the British Museum and replied that it has some relation to the genus Octococcus Hall. Since salsolicola lacks general features of Ripersia as now understood and since no material, Williams’ opinion is here accepted and this species is transferred to Octococcus ”. Miller and Giliomee (2016) considered this species to be a nomen dubium stating that “based on the original description and illustration it appears that the dorsal setae are either not enlarged or only slightly enlarged, the setae on the hind legs are all approximately of the same thickness, there are no translucent pores on the hind coxa, and the antennae are 7-segmented with only a slight indication of a division of the distal segment. There apparently are no trilocular pores and there is no indication that there are oral rim tubular ducts. The wax covering is said to be very thin and it occurs on a non-asteraceous host in North Africa. All of these character states are inconsistent with species of Octococcus. We are here treating this species as a nomen dubium since the original type series has been lost or destroyed and the description is insufficient to place it”. Although the specimens from which Priesner and Hosny used to describe the species are apparently lost, the authors provided a description and illustrations of the species that indicate that the species may belong to the genus Misericoccus based on the denticle on the claw, apparent lack of trilocular pores, 6-segmented antennae and flagellate dorsal setae. This species is similar to Fonscolombia artemisiae (Hall) which was found on the same host plant in Egypt and has a claw denticle; however the latter species has trilocular pores.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/153A6E2AFF98FFFD6EA4FB14FCED3340	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
