Remarks
- Systematics: This species, the type species of Heteroheliococcus, is re-assigned here (in ScaleNet) to Heliococcus following the synonymy of the former with the latter by Williams (2004a). Danzig & Gavrilov-Zimin (2014) determined that H. innermongolicus was a synonym of H. mirabilis since both lack multilocular pores and crateriform ducts on the anal lobes.
- Biology: Living on roots of its host plant.
- General Remarks: Description and illustration of adult female by Bazarov (1974) and by Danzig (2007a)
