Remarks
- Systematics: The small, lightly sclerotised anal lobes, without a bell-shaped tube enclosing the anal ring setae, and the absence of macrotubular ducts clearly place this species in Stegococcus. The most obvious diagnostic character is the particularly long, flagellate body cetae of this species compared to all other know New Zealand Eriococcidae.
- Structure: Adult females without any kind of sac, pink, inhabiting woody, flask-shaped galls on stem internodes, eggs pinkish.
- Biology: Eggs oviposited in gall chamber with some powdery wax.
- General Remarks: Good description and illustration in R.C. Henderson, 2006.
