Remarks
- Systematics: As its original combination, Trionymus mori Siraiwa , 1938, is a junior primary homonym of Trionymus mori Lobdell, 1930 and so is permanently invalid, a new name needs to be published to replace Spilococcus mori (Siraiwa, 1938)
- Biology: Living on roots of its host plant.
- General Remarks: Good description and illustration of the adult female given by Siraiwa (1938). Good description of the adult female given by Tang (1992).
