Abstract

A new mealybug species, Eumyrmococcus kinomurai sp. nov., is described from the Ryukyu Islands, Japan. It was collected from a nest associated with the ant Acropyga kinomurai. The mealybug has some unusual characters and possesses the longest antennae of any known species of Eumyrmococcus. It resembles some species of the New World genus Neochavesia Williams & Granara de Willink but lacks the protuberant anal lobes, one of the main distinguishing characters of that genus.
