Remarks

• Systematics: Exallomochlus balouchestanensis is closely related to E. philippinensis Williams in possessing: (i) normal discoidal pores that are not peg-like, (ii) mid-dorsal setae on abdomen conical to moderately elongate, and (iii) short conical cerarian setae. But E. balouchastanensis differs as follows (character states on E. philippinensis in brackets): (i) the largest specimen 3.28 mm (1.85); (ii) the conical to lanceolate setae of C6-C13number only 1 or 2 (4-10); (iii) oral collar ducts present on ventral margin of segments VI and VII (absent), and (iv) multilocular disc pores present ventrally on segments V-VII (VI-VII). (Moghaddam, 2013)
• Structure: Slide-mounted adult female nearly circular, membranous. Antennae each with 8 segments. Legs well developed; hind leg with translucent pores on ventral and dorsal surfaces of coxa and on dorsal surface of tibia; claw stout; tarsal digitules pointed at tip and shorter than claw. (Moghaddam & Watson, 2022)
• General Remarks: Detailed description and illustration in Moghaddam, 2013.
