A new soft scale species (Hemiptera: Coccomorpha: Coccidae), Pulvinaria kalyaniensis Talukder Das, sp. n., is described from specimens collected on twigs of Azadirachta indica A. Juss. (Meliaceae) from Kalyani, West Bengal, India. This new species is similar to P. aligarhensis Avasthi Shafee and P. ixorae Green, but can be distinguished by different character states of dorsal areolations, submarginal tubercles, dorsal tubular ducts, the number of prevulvar setae and the number of loculi in each multilocular pore. An updated identification key to the species of Pulvinaria Targioni Tozzetti found in India is provided.
一种新的软蚧物种(半翅目: Coccomorpha:粉蚧科),即 Kalyani 叶蝉 Pulvinaria kalyaniensis Talukder Das,sp. n.,是根据在印度西孟加拉邦 Kalyani 的印度紫檀(楝科)小枝上采集的标本描述的。该新种与 P. aligarhensis Avasthi Shafee 和 P. ixorae Green 相似,但可以通过背区网纹、亚缘瘤、背管状导管、前肛毛的数量以及每个多室孔中的室数的不同特征状态来区分。提供了一份在印度发现的 Pulvinaria Targioni Tozzetti 物种的修订鉴定钥匙。
