Remarks

• Systematics: The adult females of Hoheriococcus can be distinguished immediately from other genera of Eriococcidae by the unique bell-shaped tube enclosing the anal ring setae like a guard. Other diagnostic features are the sclerotised dorsum which is small relative to the venter, the balloon-like posterior coxae with other leg segments variably reduced, short 6-segmented antennae that may be reduced, and lack of enlarged, differentiated marginal setae and macrotubular ducts. Macrotubular ducts are present in 2nd-instar males only (Henderson, 2006)
