Remarks
- Systematics: Subfamily: Pseudococcinae (Choi & Lee, 2022) Danzig & Gavrilov-Zimin (2015) proposed several generic changes in the mealybug classification including placing most species of Chorizococcus McKenzie, 1960 and Spilococcus Ferris, 1950 in the older genus Atrococcus Goux, 1941. They also considered Allotrionymus Takahashi, 1958 and Vryburgia De Lotto, 1967 to be junior synonyms of Atrococcus. Examination of phylogenies using molecular and morphological characters (Hardy et al. 2008 & Kaydan et al. 2015) or molecular characters alone (Downie & Gullan 2004) do not agree with the above hypotheses.
- Structure: Body of adult female elongate oval to broadly oval; anal lobe developed, each lobe without anal lobe bar and bar seta, usually with 2 conical setae, 1 or more slender auxiliary setae, and a concentration of trilocular pores. Other cerarii usually numbering 6–17 pairs, each containing 2 conical setae and a slight concentration of trilocular pores. Antennae each usually with 8 segments, slender. Legs well developed, translucent pores often present on hind coxae and hind tibiae. (Tanaka & Kamitani, 2022b)
- General Remarks: Good definition and characters given by Ferris (1950b, 1953a), De Lotto (1964), McKenzie (1960, 1962, 1967), Miller & McKenzie (1973), Danzig (1980b), Williams (1962, 1985), Tranfaglia (1981), Cox (1987), Kosztarab & Kozár (1988F), Williams & Granara de Willink (1992), Kosztarab (1996) and by Danzig (1998).
