Remarks
- Systematics: Slide-mounted adult female with: enlarged setae conical, sides slightly concave or straight, apices acute or slightly rounded, setae of 2 general sizes, larger size forming 3 longitudinal lines on each side of anterior abdomen, posterior abdominal segments with minute dorsal setae; microtubular ducts short, with 2 sclerotized areas (Boratynski, 1962).This species is very distinct from other members of Eriococcus (Goux, 1995).
- Structure: Adult female is elongate, anterior end broadly rounded, orange, yellow, dorsally convex. Ovisac completely encloses the female and is elongate oval, broadly rounded anteriorly, closely felted with short glassy spine like threads projecting on dorsum and margin. White to cream at first and later a dirty cream color (Boratynski, 1962).
- Biology: This species has both male and females and has two generations per year. The crawlers of the first generation appear in April and the adults in June. The eggs are deposited by the females at the end of June, hatch in the middle of July, and the adults of the second generation appear in September. The eggs deposited by the females of the second generation in September hibernate in ovisacs and hatch in April of the following year. The active stages feed on leaves and stems. For pupation and oviposition the insects migrate to the lower parts of the host plants and settle on half dry curled up leaves or in axils (Boratynski, 1962).Goux (1995) found this species under a rock and he made no guess as to its actual host.
- General Remarks: Detailed description and illustration by Boratynski (1962). Subsequent description by Kosztarab & Kozár (1988). Kozár, et al., 2013 determined that the drawings of female, and first-instar nymph shown by Schmutterer, 1952 under the name of R. devoniensis, seem to belong to R. munroi.
