Remarks
- Systematics: Subfamily: Pseudococcinae (Choi & Lee) This genus comes close to Kiritshenkella. Danzig & Gavrilov-Zimin (2015) stated that Balanococcus is similar to Trionymus. Species were placed in Balanococcus which had tubular ducts with a collar. However, they determined that the type species of Trionymus also has ducts with a small collar, and the majority of species of both genera show an uninterrupted row of interspecific variability in the form and size of the collars and ducts. Therefore, they used the only discrete difference that they found between the type species of these genera was the presence of a wide band of multilocular pores along the entire body margin in Balanococcus. In species of Trionymus, the multilocular pores are present on the abdominal segments or additionally form small groups along the margin of the cephalothorax, or are more or less evenly scattered on the entire body surface.
- Structure: The diagonistic characters are: body of adult female on microscope slide elongate oval; antennae with 6 or 7 segments; legs small, claw without denticle; hind coxa expanded with groups of translucent pores; 1-5 pairs of cerarii, cerarius on anal lobe each with 2 conical setae; quinquelocular pores absent; trilocular pores on both surfaces; multilocular pores distributed on the entire margin; oral collar tubular ducts short, with deep collar; living normally under the leaf sheath of Poaceae and Cyperaceae. (Li & Wu, 2014)
- General Remarks: Good definition and characters given by Williams (1962), Danzig (1980b), Cox (1987), Koteja (1988a), Kosztarab & Kozár (1988F),Tang (1992) and by Danzig (1998a).
