Remarks

• Systematics: This species is close to Cerococcus ornatus (Hamon & Kosztarab, 1979). The adult female of A. zapotlanus can be diagnosed by the following combination of character-states: (i) dorsum with three sizes of 8-shaped pore; (ii) largest 8-shaped pore in swirls on head, thorax and anterior abdominal segments; (iii) smallest pores on posterior abdominal segments and in apices of each stigmatic pore band; (iv) cribriform plates round, in a submedial band of 4–9 plates on each side on abdominal segment IV; (v) leg stubs absent; (vi) posterior stigmatic pore bands bifurcated, and (vii) multilocular disc pores absent. (Hodgson & Williams, 2016)
• Structure: Female is broadly oval, pale reddish brown in color and covered with a greyish white incrustation. Male scales are cylindrical, pale brown and rough with an oblique terminal cap (Cockerell, 1903a).
• General Remarks: Detailed description and illustration by Lambdin & Kosztarab (1977a). Hamon & Kosztarab (1979) provide a detailed description and illustration of the first instar.
