Type species: Sphaerococcus pulchellus Maskell
by monotypy and original designation
.
accepted valid name
Notes: Transferred to Eriococcus from Asterolecanidae by Miller, et al. (1998)
Remarks
- Systematics: Borchsenius (1960d) assigned this genus to tribe Polliniini subfamily Cerococcinae of the Asterolecaniidae. Subsequent analysis reported in Miller, et al. 1998 placed it in the Eriococcidae. The genus now contains 4 species, all from mainland Australia. It is clear that the males of C. leptospermi are very similar to those of other Gondwanan eriococcids and therefore Hodgson, 2020 confirmed the placement of Callococcus within the Eriococcidae.
- General Remarks: Definition and characters by Ferris (1918b) and by Morrison & Morrison (1922).
