accepted valid name
Remarks
- Systematics: The tenus Katejacococcus is clearly distinct from known eriococcid genera due to the presence of the large groups of bilocular-micropores on the venter. However, it shows a few similarities with the Australian genus Phacelococcus Miller. In Kozár, et al., 2013 Kotejacoccus 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: Adult female. Venter: Antennae 6 segmented; frontal tubercle absent. Venter with more than 30 groups of bilocular micropores. Legs normal; tibia longer than tarsus. Claw with a denticle. Macrotubular ducts, microtubular ducts, and cruciform pores absent. Multilocular pores, each with 5 loculi, sparse throughout most of venter, but numberous around spirables. Setae all short and hair-like, except some setae spinose on margin.
Dorsum: With strong, capitate, (drum stick-shaped, sensu, setae, mostly as long as those near margin. Anal lobes not well developed, dorsal surface of each lobe with four capitate dorsal setae. Anal ring sclerotized, not well developed, with six short, strong setae and a few pores. Cauda absent. Macrotubular ducts short, broad. Microtubular ducts narrow, long, few.
- General Remarks: Original description and illustration in Kaydan & Kozár (2008).
