Nipponorthezia
Nipponorthezia is a genus of scale insects in the family Ortheziidae, established by Kuwana in 1916. Members of this genus are part of the diverse group of scale insects within the order Hemiptera, characterized by their protective waxy coverings. The genus is native to East Asia, with records primarily from Japan. As with other ortheziid scale insects, species in this genus likely possess a protective ovisac for egg-laying females.
