Icerya aegyptiaca View in CoL group

Two species belong to this group: I. aegyptiaca and I. schrottkyi . The pores of these two species are quite different, but both have pores on the derm that resemble the vulvar pores. They are separated easily by the number of cicatrices ( I. aegyptiaca has one, I. schrottkyi has three) and are separated further by the shape of pores on the derm. Icerya schrottkyi has unique hexalocular pores on the ventral surface that are absent from all other iceryine species.
