Systematics: Bryococcus can be distinguished immediately from other genera of Eriococcidae in New Zealand by: (1) the presence of uniquely stalked 5-locular disc pores on the dorsum and on ventral submargins; (2) the sclerotised, horse collar-shaped rim surrounding the clypeolabral shield, and (3) the lateral lobules on dorsal margins of posterior abdomen.
Structure: Adult female body rotund-oval, derm membranous. eyespots not seen Dorsal and marginal setae sparse, spinose, often minute, larger setae on posterior abdomen; ventral setae spinose on posterior abdominal segments, a few minute setae elsewhere. Antennae 6-segmented. Anal lobes sclerotised, short and broad, with rounded apices curving towards median. Legs well developed but small for body.
General Remarks: Good description and illustration in R. Henderson (2007a).
