Systematics: This species was first listed as Cerococcus sp. in Williams and Matile-Ferrero (2010). The main character-states diagnosing A. hilli are: (i) dorsal 8-shaped pores of three sizes, largest and intermediate-sized pores mainly in three transverse bands; (ii) each margin of posterior abdominal segments with six or seven large 8-shaped pores; (iii) smallest 8-shaped pores present wherever larger pores absent, and also in apices of stigmatic bands; (iv) cribriform plates in a line of about ten plates across abdominal segment IV; (v) leg stubs absent; (vi) posterior stigmatic pore bands bifurcated; (vii) stigmatic pore bands rather parallel sided, not expanding much at apex on dorsum; (viii) multilocular disc-pores present in narrow bands across most abdominal segments, submarginally on metathorax and also mesad to spiracles, and (ix) antennae without an apical cone or a setal cavity.
Structure: Body roundly pear-shaped, 1.2–1.68 mm long, 0.98–1.38 mm wide. (Hodgson & Williams, 2016)
