Remarks
- Systematics: The extensive study by Danzig (2001) indicates that this species is widely distributed in the Palaearctic region (from Kazakhstan in the east to Italy and the west) where it exhibits a remarkable range of intraspecific variation in several taxonomic features. Eupeliococcus was described by Săvescu (1985) with two species from Romania, but Săvescu did not designate a type species and, therefore, according to Article 13.3 of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (4th ed.), the name Eupeliococcus must be considered a nomen nudum, as indicated by Danzig & Gavrilov-Zimin (2014), who also considered both species of Eupeliococcus to be junior subjective synonyms of Peliococcus turanicus Kiritchenko.
- Structure: Colour photograph by Pellizzari (2005).
- Biology: Living usually on roots of the host plant; recorded from the trunk of grapevine. Lives on roots of the host plant (Pellizzari Scaltriti, 1991). Danzig (2001) reported that this species lives on the roots of different perennial herbs and bushes (Achillea, Artemisia, Centaurea, Tragopogon, Euphorbia, Lamium, Astragalus, Atraphaxis, Physalis); also recorded from Nicotiana, cotton, potato tubers and roots of wheat and wild grasses.
- General Remarks: Description and illustration of adult female by Borchsenius (1949), Ter-Grigorian (1973), Tereznikova (1975), Kosztarab & Kozár (1988F), Tang (1992) and by Danzig (2001). Description and illustration of adult female third-instar nymph and female second-instar nymph by Ter-Grigorian (1973). Description of adult female given by Borchsenius (1949).
