Remarks
- Systematics: Subfamily: Phenacoccinae (Choi & Lee) Erimococcus can be recognised by the absence of a full set of cerarii and the presence of clusters or groupings of oral collar tubular ducts, each cluster with one to three ducts of two sizes. (Kaydan, 2015)
- Structure: Female covered with white powdery wax. Ovisac woolly, white. Antennae 8 or 9 segmented. Eyes oval, on a small basal cone. Labium 3 segmented, longer than wide. Posterior spiracles always larger than anterior spiracles. Circulus present, lying between abdominal segments III and IV. Legs well developed, claw with a denticle; tarsal digitules hair-like, not capitate; claw digitules knobbed, claw digitules broader than tarsal digitules. Both pairs of ostioles well developed; anterior ostioles usually more weakly developed than posterior pair. Anal lobes well developed. Anal ring oval, with 1 inner row of pores and 1 or 2 outer rows of pores and 6 setae. (Kaydan, 2015)
