Remarks
- Systematics: Subfamily: Coccinae A, Coccini (Choi & Lee, 2019) Adult females of C. hesperidum and T . formicarii share a combination of at least five morphological trait states: the presence of dorsal areolations, preopercular pores, sevensegmented antennae [some of T . formicarii specimens with eight segments], ventral tubular ducts that are restricted to thoracic segments, and multilocular disc pores present around the genital opening plus a few on the preceding one or two abdominal segments. The autapomorphies of T . formicarii, such as the absence of dorsal tubular ducts, submarginal tubercles and tibio-tarsal sclerosis that differentiate it from C. hesperidum, might be due to its habit of living inside ant nests. (Lin, et al., 2013)
