accepted valid name
Notes: This genus is characterized by having dorsal cruciform pores, disc pores, and enlarged setae that are restricted to the margins of the posterior abdominal segments. "At present there seems to be little justification for accepting this genus and it is here regarded as a component of Eriococcus" (Williams, 1985h). However, Kozár, et al., 2013 reestablished the genus,

Remarks
- Systematics: In Kozár, et al., 2013 Kaweckia was placed in the family Acanthococcidae Signoret, 1875, but is here kept in Eriococcidae because placement of species outside of the palaearctic are unclear.
- Structure: Living female red. Adult female elongate oval, almost parallel-sided. Antennae 6 or 7 segmented, base at body margin; frontal tubercles present; labium 3 segmented generally wide; stylet loop extends to line between mid-coxae. Legs well developed, hind tibia with 4 setae, 2 on inner side, coxae generally with translucent pores; claw usually with a denticle at apex; tarsal and claw digitules longer than claw clavate. Spiracles often surrounded by sclerotised area, with a few associated disc pores. Discoidal pores generally 3-9 loculi, on both surfaces. Cruciform pores on dorsum and venter; micro- and macrotubular ducts on both surfaces. Enlarged setae often with truncate apex on abdominal segments
and on anal lobes; dorsal setae small needle-like, ventral setae in medial area enlarged, hair-like. Anal ring circular, broad, twice smaller than in Greenisca. Anal lobes prominent (Kosztarab & Kozár, 1988f).
- Biology: On stem, root collar, and in leaf sheaths of various grasses, often below soil surface; eggs overwinter, males unknown. (Kozár, et al., 2013)
