Anophococcus agropyri (Borchsenius, 1949) (Eriococcidae: Anophococcus)Nomenclatural History
- Rhizococcus agropyri Borchsenius 1949: 353, 359. Type data: KAZAKHSTAN: Alga, Aktyubinsk Oblast, on Agropyron sp., 18/08/1936, by N. Borchsenius. Lectotype, female, by subsequent designation (Danzig1962a,852). Type depository: St. Petersburg: Zoological Museum, Academy of Science, Russia; accepted valid name Notes: Single slide contains 5 specimens. A specimen was selected by Danzig (1962a) as the "holotype"; which must be considered the lectotype. Illustr.
- Rhizococcus obscurus Borchsenius 1949: 360. Type data: TAJIKISTAN: Ramit District, Jabroz, on Cissus sp., 22/06/1940, by N. Borchsenius. Holotype, female, by original designation Type depository: St. Petersburg: Zoological Museum, Academy of Science, Russia; junior synonym (discovered by KosztaKo1978, 69). Notes: One adult female on 1 slide in ZMAS (personal correspondence, Danzig, 1996). Illustr.
- Rhizococcus graminicola Borchsenius 1949: 353, 359, 360. Type data: UZBEKISTAN: Tashkent, on undetermined Gramineae. Syntypes, female, Type depository: St. Petersburg: Zoological Museum, Academy of Science, Russia; junior synonym (discovered by Kohler1998, 396). Notes: Danzig (1962a) first suggested the possibility that R. graminicola was a junior synonym of Eriococcus agropyri, stating that presence of three additional spines on abdominal segments other than the 7th and the ratio of length of anal setae and preanal hairs did not seem to be reliable characters for an independent species.

Remarks
- Systematics: Slide-mounted adult female with: enlarged setae around body margin conspicuously larger than on remainder of dorsum; with 2 enlarged setae on margin of each abdominal segment (Kosztarab & Kozár, 1988).
- Structure: Ovisac gray, white or yellowish, with almost flat dorsum and carinate submargin. Adult female elongate-oval, yellow (Kosztarab & Kozár 1988). Body of slide-mounted first-instar nymph, oval. Antennae six segmented, apical three segments with strong sensory setae as in adult female. Dorsum with six rows of equal long, spines. Tubular ducts absent, on dorsum with four sparse pairs of microtubular ducts. Venter with transverse rows of six small hair-like setae on each abdominal segment; median setae longer than others. Cruciform pores present on thoracic segments. With one pair of quinquelocular pores on each thoracic segment, one near each spiracle, plus one pair on frons. Stylet loop reaching the third abdominal segment. Anal ring normal, with 6 hair-like setae. (Kozár, et al., 2013)
- Biology: This is a common steppe-inhabiting mesophilous species. Females were collected from May through October, each laid 98-211 eggs. Probably has more than one generation per year (Kosztarab & Kozár 1988).
- Economic Importance: Often becomes a pest (Kosztarab & Kozár, 1988).
- General Remarks: Most comprehensive treatment by Borchsenius (1949) and by Kosztarab & Kozár (1988).
