Nidularia Lindinger 1957: 552;. . incorrect synonymy (discovered by Hoy1963: 195)
Neotrichococcus Miller & Gimpel 1999: 215. . replacement name

Systematics: This genus is very similar to Eriococcus but has enlarged setae with 3 basal rings rather than 1 (Borchsenius, 1949). Miller & Gimpel (1998) proposed the replacement name Neotrichococcus for Trichococcus Borchsenius (1948) which was preoccupied by Trichococcus Kanda (1941d), which is now considered a junior synonym of Beesonia Green. In Kozár, et al., 2013 Neotrichocococcus was placed in the family Acanthococcidae Signoret, 1875, but is here kept in Eriococcidae because placement of species.outside of the palaearctic are unclear.
Structure: Adult female short, oval, convex, dark crimson in color. Egg sac is white, spherical, and flocculent and looks like a ball of cotton (Borchsenius, 1949). Antennae 7 segmented.
General Remarks: Detailed description in Borchsenius, 1948.
