Remarks

• Systematics: This species differs from all other species of Coccidohystrix except C. maghribiensis in having very few trilocular pores, which can be found near spiracles only. It differs from C. maghribiensis, by having a small number of conical setae, which are located along body margin only and are not grouped in mamelons. (Gavrilov-Zimin & Matile-Ferrero, 2015)
• Structure: Body broadly oval, about 2 mm long. Antennae 7-segmented. Legs well developed, slender, without translucent pores. Claw with slight denticle. Anal apparatus complete, with inner row of pores, one outer row of spinulae and six long setae. (Gavrilov-Zimin & Matile-Ferrero, 2015)
• General Remarks: Detailed description and illustration in Gavrilov-Zimin & Matile-Ferrero, 2015.
