Remarks

• Systematics: Subfamily: Pseudococcinae (Choi & Lee)

  Chorizococcus McKenzie comes close to Vryburgia De Lotto in possessing dorsal oral collar tubular ducts. Oral collar tubular ducts on dorsum in Chorizococcus occur on margin only, whereas in Vryburgia, those ducts occur in transverse rows on dorsum (Williams 2004). Spilococcus Ferris is almost identical with Chorizococcus McKenzie but possesses 6-17 pairs of cerarii, six or more of which present on the abdomen. Miller and Mckenzie (1973) discussed the difficulties of assigning species to either Chorizococcus or Spilococcus. Danzig (1998) did not accept Chorizococcus and included all species with 1-17 pairs of cerarii in Spilococcus sensu lato. (Tsai & Wu, 2011) Danzig & Gavrilov-Zimin (2015) considered only several American species with a claw denticle to be Chorizococcus and transferred all other species to the genus Atrococcus. Examination of phylogenies using molecular and morphological characters (Hardy et al. 2008 & Kaydan et al. 2015) or molecular characters alone (Downie & Gullan 2004) do not agree with the above hypotheses.

• Structure: Body elongate oval to broadly oval; membranous. With 1-5 pairs of cerarii present on posterior segments of abdomen and sometimes a pair on head also, each cerarius bearing 2 conical setae; auxiliary setae present on anal lobe pair only. Oral rim ducts, sometimes of 2 sizes, present on dorsum and commonly also on venter. Oral collar tubular ducts present, at least on venter; if present on dorsum, then restricted to marginal areas. Antennae each with 7 or 8 segments. Legs well developed, with translucent pores on hind coxae, sometimes absent. Claw stout, without a denticle. Claw digitules knobbed. Tarsal digitules minutely knobbed. Multilocular disc pores present on venter, rarely found on dorsum. Circulus present or absent, when present usually divided by intersegmental line. Anal ring normal, bearing 6 setae. Anterior and posterior ostioles present. (Tsai & Wu, 2011)
