Remarks
- Systematics: Generic characteristics that distinguish this genus from other beesonids are: the possession of small legs, trochanter and femur partially or completely fused; antennae small, 3-segmented; labium 1-segmented; anal ring without setae or pores; quinquelocular pores restricted to venter; without enlarged setae (Beardsley, 1971b).
All recent cladistic analyses that have included Gallacoccus Beardsley (1971) (Cook & Gullan 2004; Hodgson in Takagi & Hodgson 2005; Gullan & Cook 2007; Hodgson & Hardy 2013; Kondo et al. 2016) have found that Gallacoccus (previously included in the Eriococcidae) falls within the Beesoniidae. (Hodgson, 2020)
- Structure: The adult females of this gall-inducing genus are globular. Adult males can be recognized by their short three to five segmented antennae (Beardsley, 1971b).
