Systematics: Kermes rimarum is distinguishable by the pre-anal row of multilocular disc pores with 3 prolongations posteriolaterally, each prolongation apically with about 20 multilocular disc pores surrounding 2 or 3 setae, the false venter with small median lobe posteriorly and the mid-dorsum without multilocular disc pores (Bullington & Kosztarab, 1985). Second-instar females of K. bytinskii and K. quercus have 5 or 6- segmented antennae, and short, 3-segmented legs; these characters are shared with the second-instar females of the Nearctic K. cockerelli Ehrhorn, K. concinnulus Cockerell and K. rimarum Ferris (Baer & Kosztarab, 1985).
