Type species: Eriococcus gillettei Tinsley
by original designation
.
accepted valid name
Notes: The genus Eriokermes was erected for three species previously placed in the Eriococcidae
Remarks
- Systematics: The family placement of this genus has been controversial. The species were originally placed in the Eriococcidae, but Miller and Miller (1993a) moved it to the Kermesidae and recent work by Hodgson (2002) confirmed this family placement. A recent paper by Kaydan & Kozár (2008) included Eriokermes as an eriococcid. In Kozár, et al., 2013, Eriokermes was placed in the family, Acanthococcidae Signoret, 1875, but is here kept in Kermesidae because placement of species.outside of the palaearctic are unclear.
- General Remarks: Generic characters described by Miller & Miller (1993a).
