Remarks

• Systematics: The adult female of F. quaintancii is most similar to those of F. claviseta, F. gilli and F. setosa in lacking the anterior pair of ostioles. However, the adult female of F. setosa is distinctive in having an anal ring mostly with more than 12 anal ring setae (6 setae in the other three species) and fewer than 6 multilocular pores near the vulva (many more pores in the other species). The adult female of F. quaintancii can be distinguished from that of F. gilli by having many more ventral oralcollar tubular ducts in a transverse row across most abdominal segments. It differs from the adult female of F. claviseta by the lack of paired minute pores associated with the rim of the enlarged tubular ducts of F. claviseta and by having many more ventral oral-collar ducts on the abdomen. (Kaydan & Gullan, 2012)
• General Remarks: Good description and illustration of the adult female given by Ferris (1953a).Ferris (1953) notes that this species is known only from the immature specimens in the type series. The combination Eurycoccus quaintancei proposed by Ferris (1950b), together with his description and illustration, are misidentifications of Eurycoccus copalinae Ferris.Good description and illustration of the adult female given by Ferris (1950b).
