Remarks

• Systematics: Danzig & Gavrilov-Zimin (2014) regarded Peliococcus glandulifer Borchsenius as Erimococcus glandulifer. However, according to DNA analysis, P. glandulifer falls into the Pelionella clade and also this species has different kinds of multilocular disc pores on the dorsum and venter and therefore differ from other species of Erimococcus. (Kaydan, 2015)
• Biology: Living on roots of its host plant.
• General Remarks: Good description and illustration given by Ter-Grigorian (1973) and by Danzig (2001). Good description and illustration of the female third-instar nymph given by Ter-Grigorian (1973). Good description of the adult female given by Borchsenius (1949) and by Tang (1992).
