Systematics: Chorizococcus pazoukii comes close to C. viticola from Iran in the general distribution of oral rim tubular ducts, presence of a circulus, and translucent pores on hind tibiae. However, C. pazoukii differs from the latter species by (1) the oral rim tubular ducts being in wide bands across the head, thorax and dorsal abdominal segments (one row); (2) two sizes of oral rim tubular ducts on both surfaces (equal size); and (3) presence ofmultilocular disc pores on ventral abdominal segments VI-VIII + IX (V-VIII + IX). (Moghaddam & Alikhani. 2014)
Structure: Body of mounted female elongate oval to broadly oval, largest specimen 3.2 mm long and 1.8 mm wide. Anal lobes barely visible, each ventral surface bearing an apical seta about 140 µm long. Antennae each about 470 µm long, with 8 segments. Legs well developed, small for size of body. (Moghaddam & Alikhani. 2014)
Biology: Found on the roots.
