Acanthococcus multispinosus Matesova 1976: 24-26. Type data: KAZAKHSTAN: West Kazakhstan, near Zhetybay, 5 km. S. Aral-Sor Lake, 25/06/1971, by G.Matesova. Holotype, female, by original designation Type depository: St. Petersburg: Zoological Museum, Academy of Science, Russia; homonym through subsequent combination (discovered by MillerGi1996, 602).

Artemisia frigida | Mateso1976 | Matesova (1976) cites this host as {Artemisia frigidae} which we think is a misspelling.
Artemisia pauciflora | Mateso1976
Artemisia terrae-albae | Mateso1976

Silene brahuica | Mateso1976 | Matesova (1976) cited this host as "{Silena brachica}" which we think is an incorrect spelling.

Systematics: Slide-mounted adult female with: enlarged setae conical, sides straight or slightly concave, apices rounded, setae of 2 or 3 sizes, abundant over surface (Matesova, 1976). Acanthococcus matesovae Miller & Gimpel (1996) is a replacement name for A. multispinosus Matesova (1976) which was a junior secondary homonym of A. multispinosus Kuhlgatz (1898). Since the publication of Miller & Gimpel (1996) A. matesovae and A. multispinosus (Kuhlgatz) have been transferred to Eriococcus and the name matesovae is still justified. Kozár, 2009 revived the combination Acanthococcus multispinosus, because of the transfer of A. multispinus(Kuhlgatz) to the Rhizococcus genus. However, after the transfer of A. multispinosus Matesova to the genus Rhizococcus by Kozár,et al., 2013, the name R. matesovae is valid.
General Remarks: Best description and illustration by Matesova (1976). Redescription and illustration based on type material in Kozár, et al., 2013.
