Remarks

• Systematics: Chorizococcus malabadiensis is most similar to Spilococcus halli (McKenzie et Williams, 1965) as both species have two pairs of cerarii and translucent pores on tibia of third leg. Chorizococcus malabadiensis can readily be distinguished from Spilococcus halli in having translucent pores on coxa, multilocular pores on all abdominal segments on venter (including head and thorax), and by having oral-collar tubular ducts on dorsum of last abdominal segment. (Kaydan, et al., 2014c)
• Structure: Chorizococcus malabadiensis can be diagnosed by the following combination of features: translucent pores present on hind coxa and tibia; two pairs of cerarii present on the last two abdominal segments; circulus present; multilocular discpores present on venter of abdominal segments; 15–17 pores on segment II–III, 22–29 pores on segment IV, 34–52 pores on segment V, 47–57 pores on segment VI, 63–74 on segment VII, 36–45 on segments VIII+IX; anal lobe cerarii each with 2 conical setae; abdominal and thoracic ostioles present; antennae 8-segmented, usually 430–455 μm long. (Kaydan, et al., 2014c) Living adult female body oval, light pink, with two white filaments at the end of abdomen. (Kaydan, et al., 2014c)
