A cochonilha Phoenicococcus cribiformes é descrita do Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil. Além de
Phoenicococcus marlatti Cockerell, 1899, é a segunda espécie conhecida da familia Phoenicococcidae. A fêmea
adulta de P. cribiformes difere da P. marlatti por apresentar nos primeiros segmentos abdominais um par de
placas cribiformes. Ela foi coletada sobre Araucaria angustifolia (Bertol.), o chamado Pinheiro-do-Paraná,
dentro da casca do tronco. Foi observada uma associação com formigas do gênero Brachymyrmex.
