Remarks

• Systematics: Adult females are similar to those of Madarococcus chilensis, Eriococcus navarinoensis and E. rhadinothrix. Hoever, E. dombeyae differes from M. Chilensis in having 1) numverous dorsal setae, 2) each of abdominal segments V-VII with three marginal setae, 3) dorsal posterior segments of abdomen with pairs of minute setae, and 4) small pores present on tibia. E. dombeyae differs from E. navarinoensis in having 1) dorsal setae on thorax and cephalic regions similar to those on abdominal margin and 2) quinquelocular pores restricted to medially on abdomen and near each spiracle. E. dombeyae differs from E. rhadinotrhix in having 1) quinquelocular pores more or less restricted to medial area on abdomen and near each spiracle; 2) posterior three abdominal segments with three marginal setae, and 3) small pores present on each hind tibia.
• Structure: Adult female dorsum with maily large blunt, spinose setae, but very small dorsal setae also present on posterior abdominal segments. Microtubular ducts scarse on both dorsum and venter; macrotubular ducts rather variable in shape and size; cruciform pores absent; loculate pores restricted to medial area on abdomen and near each spiracle. Anal lobes sclerotised and distinct, each with one spinose ventral seta. Suranal setae spinose. Hind coxae, femora and tibia with translucent pores; claw without denticle; claw digitules dissimilar.
