Hispaniococcus Kozár & Konczné Benedicty 2008a: 247-260. Type species: Ovaticoccus agenjoi Gomez-Menor Ortega . accepted valid name

Systematics: Hispaniococcus belongs to Ovaticoccini tribe, having reduced anal lobes, sclerotized and reduced anal ring with shorter, setose ring setae, by short legs, moniliform antennae, schort sclerotized microtubular ducts, presence of dome-shaped enlarged setae and by presence of two pair of setae on the basal segment of the labium. Hispaniococcus differs from other genera belonging to Ovaticoccini by the presence of three enlarged setae on anal lobes, by absence of cruciform pores, and by spinose, shorter than claw digitules. It differs from Ovaticoccus by the cellular anal ring, and by the presence of anal lobes. ((Kozár & Konczné Benedicty, 2008a). In Kozár, et al., 2013, Hispaniococcus was placed in the family Acanthococcidae Signoret, 1875, but is here kept in Eriococcidae because placement of species.outside of the palaearctic are unclear.

Claw with denticle. Dorsal spines dome-shaped. Anal lobes not well developed. Anal ring sclerotized, but not well developed with few anal ring pores and six strong setae, all shorter than diameter of ring. Cauda absent. (Kozár & Konczné Benedicty, 2008a)
