Abstract
A key and illustrations are provided for the identification of the species of Planococcus which occur on cacao. P. celtus and P. lamabokensis are transferred to Planococcoides as Planococcoides celtus comb. nov. and P. lamabokensis comb. nov. Planococcus pacificus is shown to occur commonly on cacao in the Neotropical Region as well as in the Australo-Oriental and Polynesian Regions, suggesting that many records of P. citri from the neotropics refer to this species.This publication has 9 references indexed in Scilit:
