As of 2004, the type insect was part of the amber collections housed at the British Museum of Natural History, London, England.

Burmese amber has been radiometrically dated using U-Pb isotopes, yielding an age of approximately 99 million years old, close to the Albian – Cenomanian boundary.

[1] Albicoccus is one of three Burmese amber coccid genera that Koteja described in the same paper, the other two being Burmacoccus, monotypic to the family Burmacoccidae, and the incertae sedis genus Marmyan.

The extinct genera Albicoccus, Apticoccus, Grimaldiella, Kukaspis, Marmyan, Palaeosteingelia, Palaeotupo, Solicoccus, Turonicoccus and possibly Pennygullania, all with simple rows of eyes, were found to form a clade that included Burmacoccus.

In contrast to the work of Both Koteja and Hodgson and Hardy, the 2015 analysis recovered Albicoccus as a neoccoid genus along with the fossil genera Kuenowicoccus, Pennygullania, and Inka.

[1] An undescribed male albicoccid trapped in Burmese amber played host to the ancient parasitic fungus Paleoophiocordyceps coccophagus, with two whip-like fruiting bodies emerging from the animal's head.
