Systematics: Iberococcus attikus Szita & Fetykó is characterised by the distribution of multilocular pores on dorsum, these being absent from the posteriormost three abdominal segments, but present on the other abdominal segments; and the presence of oral rim tubular ducts both on the margins and midline of the dorsum. (Szita, et al., 2017)

All segments of antennae covered with moderate number of hair-like setae, each seta 20–28 μm long. Eyes located on margin. (Szita, et al., 2017)
Biology: Specimens live in a white sticky wax secretion on the rosette and the petioles of the host plant, mainly close to the ground. (Szita, et al., 2017)
