Remarks

• Systematics: This species does not fit into the genera Cerococcus, Cerochiton or Antecerococcus as defined in Hodgson & Williams, 2016. In lacking both anteroventral sclerotizations on the anal lobes and large 8-shaped pores marginally on the dorsum of the posterior abdominal segments, it does not fall within Antecerococcus, whilst the fleshy setae on the dorsal surface of each anal lobe are quite long and fleshy and there is no line of three setose setae along the inner margins of each lobe, and so it appears not to belong to Cerococcus. It also lacks a lattice-like pattern of 8-shaped pores and the stigmatic pore bands typical of species of Cerochiton. Also, as it has abundant 8-shaped pores throughout the dorsum, it does does not fit into Asterococcus. On the other hand, it does have a (short and spinose) seta ventrally near the apex of each anal lobe (typical of Antecerococcus). It also differs from all other known species of Cerococcidae in having a single, large cone-like spine in a deep cavity in each antenna and perhaps no other fleshy or setose antennal setae. It is also very unusual in having an incomplete posterior stigmatic pore band, with the spiracular disc-pores restricted to a group just anterior to each peritreme. Antecerococcus eremobius also has aborted stigmatic pore bands but the latter is otherwise a typical species of Antecerococcus. (Hodgson & Williams, 2016)
• Structure: Adult female with posterior spiracular furrows absent; antennae without slender and/or fleshy setae, but with a median spinelike sclerotization; no quinquelocular pores at base of each antenna (Lambdin & Kosztarab, 1977a).
• General Remarks: Detailed description and illustration by Lambdin & Kosztarab (1977a).
