Life cycle
Very little is known about this family, but in one species, the female scale has four instars.[2]
Genera
There are four genera, each with a single known species:
- Baloghicoccus costaricaensis
- Carayonema orousseti
- Foldicoccus monikae
- Mahunkacoccus mexicoensis
Foldicoccus monikae is flattened and leaf-shaped and the adult has six legs and a pair of antennae.[3]

gollark: I have absolutely no idea where the packets are going, or indeed if they are going anywhere.
gollark: This is very annoying. I'm trying to make a (mostly pointless, yes) IPv6 multicast chat thing, and after struggling with the mysterious errors from the socket syscalls, got it to bind properly (I think?) so that `socat - "udp6-sendto:[ff02::aeae]:44718"` makes it work, but apparently it won't work from my other device, even though they can ping each others' link local IPv6 addresses.
gollark: Or it could download more RAM temporarily.
gollark: Just disable those, simple.
