Systematics: Hempelicoccus aromae is the only species of the genus with microducts grouped in the intersegmental lines. It is close to H. leguminicola because both have two types of microducts, frontal lobes, first labial segment with a pair of setae and lack marginal setae on the abdomen. They differ by (H. aromae characters in parentheses): (I) the presence of symmetric and asymmetric (symmetric only) macroducts, (ii) midplane present (absent), iii) four dorsal setae and three to five ventral lobes in anal (three dorsal two ventral), (iv) cruciform pores in both bounding surfaces (lats only). It is close to H. tucumanensis in that it has conical setae, frontal lobes, two types of microducts and wide cup macroducts on the abdomen and thorax. It differs by (H. aromae in parentheses): (I) Four setae in the anal dorsal lobes (three setae), ii) coxas pro, meso and metatorácicas with microspines (meso coxas and metatorácicas), iii) groups of microducts dorsal and ventral MicroDucts (dorsal only), iv) absent media (present).
