Keys

• YerlikBaKa2021: pp.326-327 ( Adult (F) ) [Trionymus of the Palearctic region]
• DanzigGa2015: pp.99-106 ( Adult (F) ) [Palaearctic Trionymus species]

Remarks

• Systematics: Danzig & Gavrilov-Zimin (2015) judged from the original description that this species is similar to Trionymus hamberdi, but differs in the presence of 3 types of tubular ducts instead of 2 types.
• Biology: The mealybugs lives on roots, in the crowns and leaf sheaths of the host plant. The adult female appears in May and lays its eggs in a wax ovisac during the summer until autumn. The species overwinters as eggs and nymphs. Likely it has one generation a year. Male is unknown.
• General Remarks: Good description and illustration of the adult female given by Mazzeo (1995).
