Systematics: Tillancoccus koreguajae is most similar to Tillancoccus tillandsiae in having the same type of dorsal setae and in lacking dorsal tubercles and dorsal setae with associated pores (present in T. mexicanus); however, the two species differ in the number of rows of setae on the dorsum, number of antennal segments, and the number of loculi in the spiracular pores. Tillancoccus tillandsiae differs from the other two species in the presence of very short and slender pointed setae, which have not been reported in either T. tillandsiae or T. mexicanus. Differences between Tillancoccus koreguajae from the other two known species in the genus are (T. mexicanus and T. tillandsiae in brackets): 8 (6) antennal segments; 25 (20) radial rows of setae; preopercular pores in 2 longitudinal parallel rows (present in small clusters along the mid dorsal area; dorsal and ventral microducts (microducts absent); pointd setae on dorsum, margin and venter (on venter only); and tri-, quinque-, hexalocular pores (quinquelocular pores only)
