Systematics: Bullington & Kosztarab (1985) state that this species may be a synonym of Kermes sylvestris. Second-instar females of K. bytinskii and K. quercus have 5 or 6- segmented antennae, and short, 3-segmented legs; these characters are shared with the second-instar females of the Nearctic K. cockerelli Ehrhorn, K. concinnulus Cockerell and K. rimarum Ferris (Baer & Kosztarab, 1985).
Structure: Adult female is very convex, rounded in front, more or less flattened behind, ochreous in color with distinct segmentation (Bogue, 1898).
General Remarks: Detailed description and illustration of first instar, male and female second instar (Baer & Kosztarab, 1985).
