Remarks
- Systematics: Tang (1992) and Tang et al. (1992) suggested that Atrococcus aberrans Danzig, 1985, be transferred to Trionymus, making it a homonym of T. aberrans Goux, and therefore proposed T. aberranoides Tang, 1992, as a Replacement Name. Until the genus Trinonymus will be revised, A. aberrans is retained in its original generic placement.
- Structure: Female body elongate0oval, up to 3 mm long black after placing in ethanol or potash. Antennae 8-segmented. Legs with thin segment; hind coxae with translucent pores. Anal apparatus complete. Both pairs of ostioles present. Circulus absent. Multilocular pores forming transverse rows on five posterior abdominal sternites. (Danzig & Gavrilov-Zimin, 2015)
- Biology: Occurring in the leaf axils of the host plant (Danzig, 1985). Life history and natural enemies discussed by Kosztarab & Kozár (1988F).
- General Remarks: Good description and illustration of the adult female given by Shmutterer (1952b), Tereznikova (1975) and by Danzig (1985) (as Trionymus aberrans Danzig). Good description of the adult female given by Borchsenius (1949).
