Remarks

• Systematics: A change of combination would probably be required for H. oxycoccus in order for Hemiberlesia to be considered monophyletic.(Schneider, et al., 2018)
• Structure: Scale of female almost flat, and very variable in shape; usually circular, or nearly so, but may be elongate with sides parallel; the scale on upper surface of leaves are black, those on under surface are dirty gray to dark brown, usually the lighter colour; exuviae central to sub-central (Woglum, 1906). Scale of female flat, circular, gray, exuviae subcentral; that of the male elongate oval, gray, exuvia toward one end (Ferris, 1938a).
• Biology: Occurring on leaves and fruit (Ferris, 1938a).
• General Remarks: Description and illustration of adult female by Ferris (1938a) and by Kosztarab (1996).
