Remarks

• Systematics: Acanthococcus chabohiba is very similar to A. tokaedae （Kuwana,１９３２）. It differs from the latter species in lacking macrotubular ducts on the submarginal area of the venter （i>A. tokaedae has some macrotubular ducts on the submarginal area of the venter）（Kozár et al., ２０１３）, and in having longer enlarged setae on the dorsal surface of the outer basal part of the anal lobes which are similar in length to the enlarged setae on the dorsal apices of the anal lobes （in A. tokaedae the setae on those parts are obviously shorter than the enlarged setae on the dorsal surface of the apices of the anal lobes）（Kawai,１９８０）．
• Structure: Antennae 7 segmented. Legs normal, tarsus longer than tibia, tarsal and claw digitules capitated, longer than claw. On the penultimate segment with 9 enlarged sharp pointed spines. On margin 2 or 3 setae situated. Anal lobes elongated, serrated on inner side, with three blunted spines. Anal lobe setae as long as anal lobe length. Anal ring with 8 pairs of setae, as long as the lobe setae. (Kozár, et al., 2013)
• Biology: Adult female with great, large, white eggsacs on braches of host plant. (Kozar, et al., 2013)
• General Remarks: Most detailed description by Kuwana & Nitobe (1918).
