Remarks
- Systematics: Generic characteristics that distinguish this genus from all other eriococcids are: the possession of enlarged setae; microtubular ducts; no legs; antennae reduced to 3 or 4 segments (Ferris, 1919d). In Kozár, et al., 2013 Kuwanina was placed in the family Kuwaninidae Kozar in Kozar, et al., 2014, but is here kept in Eriococcidae because placement of species.outside of the palaearctic are unclear.
Gavrilov-Zimin, 2018, erected the tribe Kuwaniini to place the genus Kuwania in relation to other genera that he felt belonged in a subfamily of Xylococcinae (Jansenus, Kuwania, Neogreenia, and Neosteingelia)
- Structure: Diagnostic features for the adult female in this genus are: (i) the apparently unique invaginated 5-locular disc pores on dorsum and/or venter; (ii) opening of microtubular duct a large dark ring on dorsum, that my appear as an empty invagination when dorsum heavily sclerotised and duct not visible (as on K. obscurata, see Ferris (1919); (iii) ventral anal opening either simple or with a non-cellular anal ring, with 0-6 small setae; (iv) dorsal abdominal segments heavily sclerotised with intersegmental furrows; (v) antennae much reduced, with or without setae, and (vi) legs, when present, represented by vestigial leg flaps (Williams 1985).
- Biology: Generally living under bark within a fine white sac. (Kozár, et al., 2013)
- General Remarks: Although many authors have considered this genus to belong in the Pseudococcidae (Morrison & Morrison, 1966) it is clearly part of the Eriococcidae (Williams, 1985h, Hoy, 1963). Kosztarab (1968) considered it to be in a separate family, Cryptococcidae.
