Systematics: The combination 'Eurycoccus olivaceus' and the description and illustration given under this name by Ferris (1950: 84) are misidentifications of Eurycoccus yuccae (see Ferris, 1953: 356; Williams & Granara de Willink, 1992). Nur et al. (1987) reported chromosome number 2n=38 (from Texas, USA) and 2n=64 (from Mexico).
Structure: See colour photograph in McKenzie (1967).
General Remarks: Good description and illustration of the adult female given by Ferris (1953a, 1955), McKenzie (1967) and by Williams & Granara de Willink (1992). Good description of the adult female given by Cockerell (1896f).
