Some scientists reported that this
mealybugs was bisexual reproduction (Hodgson et al., 2008; Aheer et al., 2009; Prasad et al., 2012; Huang et al., 2013) whereas, some other scientists reported that parthenogenesis with ovoviviparity was dominant over the oviparous mode of reproduction (Nikam et al., 2010; Kumar et al., 2010; Vennila et al., 2010).
