GENERAL

Detailed revision of this genus with illustrations by Gullan, P.J. & Strong, K.L. 1997. Scale insects under eucalypt bark: a revision of the Australian genus Phacelococus Miller (Hemiptera: Eriococcidae). Australian Journal of Entomology 36: 229–240.

SYSTEMATICS

Generic characteristics that distinguish this genus from all other eriococcids are: anal lobes small, without sclerotization; dorsal setae hair like; multilocular pores densely distributed, at least on venter; legs small, but completely segmented (Gullan, P.J. & Strong, K.L. 1997. Scale insects under eucalypt bark: a revision of the Australian genus Phacelococus Miller (Hemiptera: Eriococcidae). Australian Journal of Entomology 36: 229–240). Warburtonia was mentioned by Green, E.E. 1918. A list of Coccidae affecting various genera of plants. Annals of Applied Biology 4: 228–239 and Lindinger, L. 1937. Verzeichnis der Schildläus-Gattungen. (Homoptera - Coccoidea Handlirsch, 1903). Entomologisches Jahrbuch 46: 178–198 in name only and therefore was considered by Morrison, H. & Morrison, E.R. 1966. An annotated list of generic names of the scale insects (Homoptera: Coccoidea). Miscellaneous Publication United States Department of Agriculture 1015: 1–206 as a nomen nudum.
