Systematics: Anophococcus koguchii is similar to An. socialis in having enlarged conical setae present on the body margins of most abdominal segments, cruciform pores entirely absent, and in lacking conical setae on the dorsal surface of abdominal segment VIII. However, An. koguchii differs from An. socialis as follows (contrasting character states in An. socialis in parentheses): (i) antenna seven segmented (antenna 6 segmented); (ii) macrotubular ducts of two different sizes present on venter (macrotubular ducts of one size present on venter); (iii) multilocular disc pores mostly each with five loculi (multilocular disc pores mostly each with seven or eight loculi); (iv) cauda absent (cauda present on dorsal surface of abdominal segment VIII); and (v) large pores absent from metathoracic coxae (large pores present on metathoracic coxae).
