Description

This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Wu, San’An, Nan, Nan (2012): Neogreenia lonicera sp. nov., a new species of Margarodidae sensu lato (Hemiptera: Coccoidea) from China, with a key to species of Neogreenia MacGillivray and placement of the genus in the family Kuwaniidae. Zootaxa 3274: 43-54, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.212171

Abstract

A new species, Neogreenia lonicera Wu & Nan, is described and illustrated based on the adult female, second-instar female and first-instar nymph. This new species was collected at Helan Mountain, Inner Mongolia, China, in bark crevices of Lonicera microphylla (Caprifoliaceae). A key is provided to separate the five species now known in Neogreenia MacGillivray. A cladistic analysis of morphological data from adult females and first-instar nymphs of 28 archaeococcoid genera has Neogreenia in a clade with Jansenus Foldi and Neosteingelia Morrison and usually also with Kuwania Cockerell, and thus Neogreenia should be placed in the family Kuwaniidae. A key to distinguish the adult females of the four genera of the Kuwaniidae is provided.

Key words: Margarodidae, Neogreenia, new species, China, cladistic analysis.
