Heterococcopsis lonicerae Borchsenius 1948: 955 View in CoL , by original designation.

Generic diagnosis. Adult female. Body elongate to oval, 1.8–2.0 mm long, 0.82–1.28 mm wide. Antennae 9 segmented. Eyes present on margin. Labium 3 segmented. Posterior pair of spiracles always larger than anterior spiracles. Legs well developed, with translucent pores on hind tibia; tibia broad, tarsus shorter than tibia, claw with a denticle; tarsal digitules setose, claw digitules capitate, thicker than tarsal digitules. Posterior ostioles well developed, anterior ostioles very weakly developed or not detected. Heptalocular pores smaller than other multilocular pores, scattered on venter; absent from dorsum. Oral-collar tubular ducts elongate, generally situated on body margin. Anal ring with 6 setae.

Dorsum. Cerarii numbering 2 pairs, situated on posterior 2 abdominal segments. Dorsal body setae spine-like. Multilocular pores present on abdominal segments and near body margin. Quinquelocular pores scattered over body. Trilocular pores present on last abdominal segment (VIII) in cerarii and around ostioles. Oral-collar tubular ducts few, generally present on body margin.

Venter. Body setae slender, generally short, longest setae present medially on head; apical setae long. Three circuli present. Multilocular disc pores present on posterior abdominal segments (IV–VIII+IX) plus a few on thorax and head. Heptalocular pores and quinquelocular pores about same size, scattered over venter. Minute discoidal pores scattered on body surface. Oral-collar tubular ducts few.

Comment. Hitherto, Heterococcopsis included three species: H. desertus Bazarow & Nurmamatov , H. lonicera Borchsenius and H. opertus . Herein, H. desertus is transferred to Phenacoccus , and H. opertus is transferred to Heterobrevennia gen. nov., leaving Heterococcopsis as a monotypic genus.
