Systematics: Slide-mounted adult female with: enlarged setae conical, sides straight, apices acute, 2 sizes of setae, marginal setae slightly longer than other dorsal setae (Hempel, 1937). Acanthococcus piptadeniae is similar to A. dubius, A. arctostaphyli , A. gracielae and A. granarae. Acanthococcus dubius differs from A. piptadeniae (A. piptadeniae in brackets) in the following points: (i) a single type of microduct (two types), (ii) antennae with six segments (seven) and (iii) metacoxas with pores 13-38 (6 -10 pores). Acanthococcus arctostaphyli differs from A. piptadeniae (A. piptadeniae in brackets) by: (i) conical setae with rounded tip (with sharp point), (ii) metacoxas with pores 16-96 dorsal and 0-24 ventral (6-10 dorsal and 0-3 ventral) and (iii) anal lobes with four ventral setae (three).
Structure: Female is enclosed in a felted, fusiform sac. Male sac is cream colored and elliptical. Adult female becomes transparent when boiled in KOH (Hempel, 1937).
General Remarks: Most detailed description and illustration by Hempel (1937). Detailed redescription and illustration of adult and 1st-stage nymph in González & Claps, 2011.
