Distichlicoccus takumasae is morphologically close to D. salazari in lacking a circulus and in having translucent pores on both the hind femur and tibia. However, D. takumasae differs from D. salazari (characteristics in parenthesis) by having oral rim tubular ducts few, numbering 4-9 on dorsum and 3-4 on venter (has 2-7 oral rim tubular ducts in rows across each segment on both surfaces); oral collar tubular ducts present on venter but absent from dorsum (oral collar ducts on both venter and dorsum); and hind legs with translucent pores on coxa, femur and tibia (pores only on femur and tibia) (Caballero, 2021)
Structure: Slide-mounted adult female body oval to round, length 1.5 ± 0.04 [1.5] (1.4-1.5) mm; wide 1.2 ± 0.05 [1.1] (1.1-1.2) mm..Circulus absent; cerarii numbering 15-17 pairs; oral rim tubular ducts few, numbering 4-9 on dorsum and 3 or 4 on venter; and oral collar tubular ducts restricted to venter of abdominal segments III-VII.
