Systematics: Eriococcus alpina is distinct in having 2-4 marginal enlarged conical spines on the last abdominal segments. Among the Palearctic species, only E. glyceriae Green has marginal enlarged setae in the last abdominal segments, but they are truncate and with parallel sides, while in E. alpina they are conical and pointed (Pellizzari & Kozár, 1999).
Structure: Adult female living enclosed in white, felted ovisac. Mounted female elongate oval, 3.7 mm long and 1.56 mm wide. Anal lobes well developed, each lobe with an apical seta and three dorsal enlarged conical setae (Pellizzari & Kozár, 1999).
General Remarks: Original description and illustration by Pellizzari & Kozár (1999).
