Remarks

• Systematics: This species resembles Aonidomytilus hyperici which also lives on Hypericum, but can be distinguished by the subquadrangular shape of L1 (its conical in A. hyperici) and by the absence of differentiated megapores marginalize-ridges (Balachowsky, 1959).
• General Remarks: Detailed description and illustration by Balachowsky (1959).
