Remarks

• Systematics: Slide-mounted adult female as E. socialis with: enlarged setae conical, sides straight, apices acute, 2 sizes of setae, larger setae present on margin, smaller setae scattered over rest of dorsum; anal lobes with 2 enlarged setae (Goux, 1931a). Lindinger(1936) erroneously considered Eriococcus socialis as a junior synonym of E. insignis (Hoy, 1963 & Williams, 1985h).Slide-mounted adult female as E. franceschinii with: enlarged setae conical, apices rounded or truncate, marginal setae conspicuously larger than other dorsal setae forming a marginal band around body, 4 or 5 setae on lateral margin of each abdominal segment; anal lobe apparently with only 2 large-sized conical setae (Balachowsky, 1934a). The specimens in the type series of An. franceschinii with well developed 7 segmented antennae belong to An. pseudinsignis.
• Structure: Ovisac is white to cream in color. First instar is yellow and oval. Adult female is reddish, ovoid (Goux, 1931a).Adult female is yellow and oval (Balachowsky, 1934b).
• General Remarks: Most detailed description and illustration by Goux (1931a). Most detailed description and illustration by Balachowsky (1934b). Redescription and illustration in Kozár, et al., 2013.
