Remarks

• Systematics: In having most of the above mentioned features, H. kozari resembles H. opertus but differs in having (characters of H. opertus in brackets): (i) only 5 pairs of cerarii (7), (ii) many trilocular pores scattered throughout dorsum (trilocular pores on dorsum few, generally restricted to the posterior abdominal segment, cerarii and ostioles), (iii) transcluent pores present on hind coxa (absent), and (iv) dorsal multilocular pores present only on abdominal segments VI and VII (scattered all over body). H. kozari is also similar to H. gullanae Kaydan, but differs in having (characters of H. gullanae in brackets): (i) 5 pairs of cerarii (6), (ii) transcluent pores on coxa (absent), (iii) one size of oral-collar tubular ducts on dorsum (two sizes on posterior abdominal segment), (iv) dorsal multilocular pores restricted to abdominal segments VI and VII (also present in two group on head), and (v) antennae 9 segmented (8, rarely 7).
• Structure: Adult female body oval. The adult female of Heterobrevennia kozari Kaydan is unique for a species in the Heterococcus group in having the following combination of character states: (i) many quinquelocular pores on both dorsum and venter, (ii) hair-like tarsal digitules, (iii) ventral multilocular pores present on posterior abdominal segments, (iv) translucent pores present on coxa, femur and tibia, (v) five pairs of cerarii, and (vi) many oral-collar tubular ducts throughout the dorsum. The most unique characters are the presence of 5 cerarii and pores on hind coxa.
