Systematics: Dysmicoccus zagrosicus resembles D. triadus in possessing groups of ducts on the dorsum and the venter; but D. zagrosicus differs as follows (character-states of D. triadus in brackets): (i) cerarii numbering 7 pairs, situated on abdominal segments (cerarii numbering 17 pairs); multilocular disc pores present on submargins of segments IV and V, absent from medial areas of these segments (present only on medial areas of segments VI and VII).
