Remarks
- Systematics: H. pumiliae although collected off Nothofagus has morphological characters more similar to Eriococcus species found on non-Nothofagus hosts, such as 1) anal ring with a single row of pores, 2) microtubular ducts either narrow and undivided or broad and longitudinally divided, or both, and 3) both tarsal and claw digitules with equal and slifhtly expanded apices.
- Structure: Adult remale dorsum with spinose dorsal setae of rather variable size but each smaller than marginal setae. Anal lobes sclerotised, each with 2 flagellate ventral setae. Microtubular ducts scattered on both surfaces. Coxal pores quite large, present on posterior surface of metacoxae. Medial plate present. Enlarged ventral setae present along body margin. Metathoracic tibia with four setae, prothoracic tibia with five setae; claw ans tarsal digitules similar with slightly expanded spices.
- General Remarks: Detailed description and illustration found in González, 2008a.
