Three mealybug species, Pseudococcus viburni (Signoret), Pseudococcus calceolariae (Maskell) andPlanococcus citri (Risso), which were previously controversial on parthenogenesis traits were demonstrated to be obligate amphimictic (Silva et al., 2010).

These insects infest mainly the inflorescence and rosette, and are grouped into the category known as "mealybugs of the rosette complex." Members of this group reported to be associated with Conilon coffee in Brazil include Planococcus minor (Maskell),Planococcus citri (Maskell), Pseudococcus elisae Borchsenius, and Dysmicoccus grassii (Leonardi) (all Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae), and have been reported to occur in the state of Espfrito Santo (Culik et al.
