• DanzigGa2015: pp.379-380 ( Adult (F) ) [Species of Mirococcopsis]
• Wu2000: pp.162-163 ( Adult (F) ) [Atrococcus and related genera]

Remarks

• Systematics: Based only on the original description and illustration, Danzig & Gavrilov-Zimin (2015) transferred Spilococcus innermongolicus to the genus Mirococcopsis without comment. Until this has been confirmed with evidence, we are leaving it in Spilococcus as placed by Wu (2000).
• Structure: Adult female body broadly oval, about 2 mm long. Antennae 7 segmented. Legs small, without translucent pores. Anal apparatus complete, with long setae on the anal ring. Both paris of osioles present; circulus absent. (Danzig & Gavrilov-Zimin, 2015)
• General Remarks: Good description and illustration of the adult female given by Tang (1992).
