Acanthococcus thymi (Schrank, 1801) (Eriococcidae: Acanthococcus)Nomenclatural History
- Coccus thymi Schrank 1801: 146. accepted valid name Notes: Lindinger (1933a) considered Eriococcus thymi Schrank (1801) as different from E. thymi Signoret (1875b). Williams (1985h) disagrees in the following statement: "Although there is no original material available, there seems to be no doubt that the specimens examined and identified by Signoret and others identified by Marchal and Goux represent the species described by Schrank on Thymus as C[occus] thymi and on Daphne gnidium as R[hizococcus] gnidii." Matile-Ferrero & Danzig visited the Naturhistorisches Museum, Vienna in June of 1997 and were unable to locate any type material of this species.
- Eriococcus thymi (Schrank, 1801); Signoret 1875b: 32. change of combination
- Rhizococcus gnidii Signoret 1875b: 37. Type data: FRANCE: Estrelle Mountains, near Cannes, on Daphne gnidium. Unknown type status, unknown, Type depository: St. Petersburg: Zoological Museum, Academy of Science, Russia; junior synonym (discovered by Willia1985h, 382). Notes: Matile-Ferrero & Danzig visited the Naturhistorisches Museum, Vienna in June of 1997 and were unable to locate type material, but did find specimens labeled as follows: "Cannes/Gall. Mer./Daphne gnidium/gnidii det. Signoret/n°4/coll. Nat. Mus. Wien/Rhizococcus gnidii Sign." Since this label does not contain any indication that it was collected in the Estrelle Mountains which is part of the type locality, this material is probably not part of the type series.
- Eriococcus ericae; Lindinger 1912b: 367. incorrect synonymy (discovered by Hoy1963, 120). Notes: Lindinger (1912b) incorrectly considered E. ericae to be a junior synonym of E. thymi (Hoy, 1963).
- Eriococcus gnidii (Signoret, 1875); Lindinger 1931a: 43. change of combination
- Nidularia gnidii (Signoret, 1875); Lindinger 1933a: 166. change of combination
- Nidularia thymi (Schrank, 1801); Lindinger 1957: 548. change of combination
- Eriococcus devoniensis; Lindinger 1957: 548. incorrect synonymy (discovered by Hoy1963, 120).
- Eriococcus reynei; Lindinger 1957: 548. incorrect synonymy (discovered by Hoy1963, 120). Notes: Lindinger (1957) incorrectly synonymized E. reynei with E. thymi (Hoy, 1963).
- Acanthoccocus thymi (Schrank, 1801); Kozár & Walter 1985: 74. change of combination Notes: Miller & Gimpel (1996) incorrectly considered Acanthococcus thymi to be a new combination.
- Rhizococcus thymi (Schrank, 1801); Tang & Hao 1995: 541. change of combination
- Acanthococcus gnidii (Signoret, 1875); Kozár 2009: 92. change of combination
- Acanthococcus thymi (Schrank, 1801); Kozár, Kaydan, Konczné Benedicty & Szita 2013: 166-169. revived combination (previously published)

Remarks
- Systematics: Lindinger (1933a) incorrectly considered Eriococcus thymi (Signoret) not Schrank to be a junior synonym of E. ericae Signoret. In 1957, he erroneously treated E. devoniensis (Green) and E. reynei Schmutterer as junior synonyms of E. thymi (Schrank).
- Structure: Adult female is brown, sac is small and white (Signoret, 1875b).
- General Remarks: Most detailed description and illustration by Williams (1985h).
