A
new archaeococcoid (Hemiptera: Coccomorpha: Monophlebidae),
Perissopneumon kalyaniense Das & Das sp. nov., is described from
specimens collected on twigs of Glycosmis pentaphylla (Retz.) DC.
(Rutaceae), a medicinal plant from Kalyani, West Bengal, India. The new
species is similar to Perissopneumon ferox Newstead 1900, but can be
distinguished by different character states of ventral multilocular
pores and anal tube. An updated identification key to the species of
Perissopneumon Newstead found worldwide is provided. The current status
of the genus Perissopneumon Newstead is discussed.
Key words: Archaeococcoid,
Identification key, Monophlebidae, Perissopneumon, New species, West
Bengal.
