Remarks

• Systematics: This species is close to C. baccharidis (Hamon & Kosztarab, 1979). The main character-states diagnosing the adult female of A. badius are: (i) dorsum with three or four sizes of 8-shaped pores; (ii) large 8-shaped pores on dorsum in swirls; (iii) large 8-shaped pores not forming a line along margins of posterior abdominal segments but in a transverse band anterior to anal plate; (iv) smallest 8-shaped pores present laterad to apex of each stigmatic pore band; (v) cribriform plates in 5–7 submedial clusters on each side of thoracic and anterior abdominal segments, each cluster with 3–8 plates; (vi) each cribriform plate small but with large micropores; (vii) leg stubs present; (viii) posterior stigmatic pore band bifurcated; (ix) multilocular disc-pores absent, and (x) all stigmatic pore bands broad. (Hodgson & Williams, 2016)
• Structure: Female test is convex, rounded anteriorly and tapering slightly posteriorly. Light orange to reddish brown in color with white strands of wax in the spiracular furrows. Male test is elliptical, gray, granular and has no secondary wax (Lambdin & Kosztarab, 1977a).
• General Remarks: Detailed description and illustration by Lambdin & Kosztarab (1977a). Hamon & Kosztarab (1979) provide a description and illustration of the first instar.
