Systematics: GenBank accession number: MW246246 for COI and MW251836 for 28S. Chorizococcus jeanfrancoisi is characterized by the following combination of features: (i) antenna with 7 or 8 segments; (ii) circulus absent; (iii) 4 pairs of cerarii present on posteriormost abdominal segments; and (iv) translucent pores restricted to hind tibiae. (Pacheco da Silva, et al., 2020) This species most closely resembles Chorizococcus wilkeyi McKenzie and Chorizococcus variabilis McKenzie in having: (i) circulus absent, (ii) dorsum of abdomen without multilocular disc pores, and (iii) cerarii on at least the posteriormost 3 abdominal segments; however, C. jeanfrancoisi differs from both the other species in lacking oral rim tubular ducts on the dorsum. (Pacheco da Silva, et al., 2020)
