Remarks
- Systematics: Lindinger (1954) considered Kermes bacciformis to be a junior synonym of Talla aterrimus. Hoy (1963) considers bacciformis to be the senior name. Since no explanation for the synonymy can be found, we consider the species to be distinct and here consider Kermes aterrimus incertae sedis.
- Structure: Adult female spherical, flattened on venter with dorsum divided into two halves by a longitudinal furrow (Kosztarab & Kozár, 1988).
- Biology: This species is the only Mediterranean Kermes to adapt to oaks with deciduous leaves (Balachowsky, 1950c). Detailed biological information by Kosztarab & Kozár (1988).
- General Remarks: Detailed description and illustration by Kosztarab & Kozár (1988).
