Systematics: Very close to Cerococcus stellatus (Morrison & Morrison, 1927).
Structure: Female test is reddish brown in color and has white waxy projections. Body is pear shaped (Lambdin & Kosztarab, 1977a). A. froggatti is characterised by the following combination of characters: (i) dorsum with three sizes of 8-shaped pores, mainly in swirls; (ii) largest 8-shaped pores in a line of about four along margins of posterior abdominal segments; (iii) smallest pores absent from apices of stigmatic pore bands; (iv) cribriform plates in a submedial group of two on each side of abdominal segment IV, each with large micropores; (v) leg stubs present; (vi) posterior stigmatic bands bifurcate; (vii) multilocular disc-pores very few, restricted to complete bands across abdominal segments VI & V, and submarginally on each side of vulva on segment VII; (viii) spiracular disc-pores quite abundant in each stigmatic band, but each stigmatic band not expanding much at apex.
