Systematics: Slide-mounted adult female with: enlarged setae curved, conical, broad apices, larger setae in marginal areas, with 1 seta on lateral margin of each abdominal segment; microtubular ducts with 2 sclerotized areas (Miller & Miller, 1992).
Structure: Adult female oval. Newly formed adults dark gray; fully gravid females deep red. Ovisac white with eggs pink to red. Crystalline rods produced along lateral margin; these rods moderate in length and curved posteriorly (Miller & Miller, 1992).
Biology: Crematogaster ants are frequently associated with this species (Miller & Miller, 1992).
General Remarks: Detailed illustration and description given in Miller & Miller (1992). Two slides labeled "Eriococcus cryptus/ Las Vegas N.M. Jan. 1902, W.P. Cockerell (on roots of Gutierrezia sp.)" were examined. These specimens agree with the current concepts of the species and are as authentic as any material available (Miller & Miller, 1992).
