Remarks
- Systematics: Slide-mounted adult female with: enlarged setae conical, sides straight, apices rounded, marginal setae conspicuously larger than others on dorsum, 3 lateral setae on margin of most abdominal segments; 5 setae on hind tibia (Kuhlgatz, 1898). This species was incorrectly treated as a junior synonym of Eriococcus coccineus by Lindinger (1931a) and was considered a possible synonym by Cockerell (1900i) (Hoy, 1963). Eriococcus multispinosus (Kuhlgatz) (1898) is the senior secondary homonym of E. multispinosus Matesova (1976) which is now named E. matesovae.
- Structure: Adult female is oval, 1.75–2.75 mm long, darkreddish-brown. (Kozár, et al., 2013)
- General Remarks: Best description and illustration by Kuhlgatz (1898).
