Remarks
- Systematics: Danzig & Gavrilov-Zimin (2015) considered only several American species with a claw denticle to be Chorizococcus and transferred all other species to the genus Atrococcus. Examination of phylogenies using molecular and morphological characters (Hardy et al. 2008 & Kaydan et al. 2015) or molecular characters alone (Downie & Gullan 2004) do not agree with the above hypotheses.
- Biology: Predominantly subterranean, infesting the roots of its host plants. This mealybug is common on numerous grass species, particularly on Bermuda Grass, in the southern USA (Williams & Granara de Willink, 1992). Kosztarab (1996) indicated that on grasses it was found between the leaf sheaths and stem.
- Economic Importance: In Hawaii, it rarely occurs on sugarcane under field conditions and considered of no economic importance (Beardsley, 1960).
- General Remarks: Good description and illustration of the adult female given by Lobdell (1930), Ferris (1950b), McKenzie (1967), Salazar (1972), Williams (1985), Kosztarab & Kozár (1988), Marotta (1992a), Williams & Granara de Willink (1992) and by Kosztarab (1996). Good description and illustration of the adult male given by Beardsley (1960).Good description of the adult female given by De Lotto (1973), Tranfaglia (1981) and by Tang (1992).
