Remarks

• Systematics: Gossypariella juniperi was transferred to the Kermesidae family by Miller & Miller (1993) in a newly established genus Eriokermes. According to Kozár, et al. 2013, G. juniperi is not congeneric with E. gillettei, because E. gillettei has microtubular ducts, G. juniperi does not. It has simple discoidal pores. They transferred it back to the Eriococcidae in a new combination with the Gossypariella genus.
• Structure: Adult female ovisac is white, felted and small. Female is oval, brownish olive in color.
• Biology: Goux (1936a) only found this species in small numbers and states that Eriokermes juniperi probably has one generation per year. He observed the formation of the ovisac in the middle of April.
• General Remarks: Detailed description and illustration by Goux (1936a). Redescription and illustrations in Kozár, et al., 2013.
