Remarks

• Systematics: This species as well as C monicae differs from all other species of Coccidohystrix in the presence of very few trilocular pores, which can be found near spiracles only. C. maghribiensis can be distinguished from C> monicae by the numerous mamelons, scattered on the dorsum and the very small dorsal setae instead of the long cylindrical setae seen on C. monicae. (Gavrilov-Zimin & Matile-Ferrero, 2015)
• Structure: Adult female. Body broadly oval, about 2 mm long. Antennae 7-segmented. Legs well developed, slender, without translucent pores. Claw with a slight denticle. Anal apparatus complete, with inner row of pores, double outer row of spinulae and 6 long setae. Multilocular pores occasionally present on last abdominal tergite and forming transverse rows on five posterior abdominal sternites. Quinquelocular pores occasionally present on dorsum and scattered on all medial zone of ventrum. Trilocular (rarely 4-locular) pores present near spiracles only: 8-14 pores near each spiracle. Minute discoidal pores occasionally present on both body surfaces. Simple tubular ducts of three sizes; largest ones forming transverse rows on all tergites; medial and smaller ducts forming together transverse rows on abdominal sternites and present in small number on sternites of cephalothorax. Most of large conical setae present in mamelons in transverse rows on most tergites; each mamelon includes 2-5 conical setae; singular conical setae, similar in size with conical setae in mamelons or smaller also present on dorsum. Minute, almost cylindrical setae scattered on dorsum and grouping around each mamelon. (Gavrilov-Zimin & Matile-Ferrero, 2015)
