Systematics: Slide-mounted adult female with: enlarged setae cylindrical, apices truncate or slightly rounded, base broader than apex, setae of 2 sizes, abundant over surface of dorsum; microtubular ducts elongate without sclerotized area, suranal setae spatulate (Hoy, 1962). Madarococcus hispidus is most similar to M. cavellii. The adult female of M. cavellii can be distinguished from that of M. hispidus by 1, hind coxae much larger than fore or mid coxae (coxae of all legs subequal in M. hispidus); 2, majority of ventral disc pores quinquelocular (most disc pores trilocular in M. hispidus), and 3, ventral abdominal setae short and robust (longer and flagellate in M. hispidus). (Hardy, et al., 2008)
Structure: Sac of female is felted (Hoy, 1962).
Biology: Adults were collected from the lower leaf surface (Hoy, 1962).
General Remarks: Most detailed description and illustration by Hoy (1962).
