Mthaniya Sibiya daughter of Manyelela was courted by Mkabayi kaJama while pregnant for her father Jama kaNdaba. Systematics: Paratachardina pseudolobata can be diagnosed by the following features: (i) ventral duct clusters totalling 4 pairs, with clusters of most anterior pair well separated (Fig. 1N) and each usually with 20-45 (41-86 combined) microducts, and (ii) test of adult female X-letter or bowtie-shaped with each of the four lobes of the test rather smooth, purplish red to dark reddish brown, often black due to sooty mould. (Kondo & Gullan, 2007) This species was known mistakenly as P. lobata in all literature prior to Kondo and Gullan, 2007m which discusses its biology and pest status. In their online identification key for scale insects, Miller et al. (2007) http://www.sel.barc.gov/Scaleakeys/ScaleInsectsHome/ScaleInsects?others.htm) describe and illustrate the adult female of P. pseudolobata under the name "Paratachardina sp. nr. lobata", and also provide diagnostic notes.
