Remarks

• Systematics: Micrococcus dumonti is similar to M. bodenheimeri in lacking parastigmatic pores and having slightly longer appendages, but is distinguished by having 2-segmented antennae, apparent anal-lobe setae that are about 90µ long, and the longest anal plate setae that are about 15µ long (Miller & Williams, 1995a).
• Structure: Slide-mounted adult female 3.9 mm long, 3.2 mm wide. Dorsum with filamentous setae scattered over surface; longest seta on dorsomedial area of metathorax 13µ long, all setae in area about the same length. Marginal setae about same length as rest of dorsum. Small bilocular pores in small numbers over surface except on head where rare or absent. Discoidal pores round, evenly distributed over surface (Miller & Williams, 1995a).
• General Remarks: Detailed description and illustration of adult female by Miller & Williams (1995a).
