Keys
- KozarKaKo2013: pp.75-77 ( Adult (F) ) [Key to species of Acanthococcus]
- TangHa1995: pp.450, 647 ( Adult (F) ) [Eriococcus species] Key as: Eriococcus ericae
- TranfaEs1985: pp.115 ( Adult (F) ) [Eriococcus species of Italy] Key as: Eriococcus ericae
Remarks
- Systematics: Slide-mounted adult female with: enlarged setae narrowly conical, with slightly rounded apices, setae of 2 sizes, scattered over dorsal surface; anal lobes heavily sclerotized but without medial teeth (Tranfaglia & Esposito, 1985). Lindinger (1911 & 1912b) incorrectly considered Eriococcus thymi and E. devoniensis as synonyms of E. ericae (Hoy, 1963).
- Structure: Adult female is oval with evident segmentation (Tranfaglia & Esposito, 1985).
- General Remarks: Brief description by Signoret (1875b). Detailed description and illustration by Tranfaglia & Esposito (1985). A distribution record for this species is given by Tranfaglia & Esposito as "Gran Bretagna" and the source is given as Hoy (1963). However, Great Britain is not given in Hoy (1963) or Williams (1985h) which treats the eriococcid fauna of Britain.
