• Tang1992: pp.36 ( Adult (F) ) [Palaearctic & Oriental regions]

Remarks

• Systematics: Hendricks and Kosztarab (1999) mostly examined specimens from Japan (the lectotype is from Japan) and described multilocular disc pores on the abdominal venter when he synonomized I. maanshaensis with I. bambusae. Wu & Lu (2012) could not find them on any of the examined Chinese specimens, even when the body was unsclerotized. They suggested that Idiococcus maanshanensis should be considered to be a valid species, not a synonym of I. bambusae.
• General Remarks: Good description and illustration of the adult female given by Tang & Wu (in Tang, 1984a). Good description of the adult female given by Tang (1992).
