Remarks

• Systematics: Eriokermes gillettei is similar to E. juniperinus. Both species have multilocular pores, simple disc pores, and tarsi longer than tibiae. E. juniperinus differs from E. gillettei in having 5- or 6-segmented antennae, quinquelocular pores on lateral margin of the abdomen, and 3 dorsal enlarged setae on each anal lobe. E. gillettei has 7- or 8-segmented antennae, no quinquelocular pores on lateral margin of abdomen and 4 dorsal enlarged setae on each anal lobe (Miller & Miller, 1993a).
• General Remarks: Detailed description and illustration of adult female, second instar female and first instar, adult male, fourth instar male, third instar male and second instar male by Miller & Miller (1993a). Hodgson (2002) used this species in a phylogenetic analysis of non-margarodid Coccoidea.
