Systematics: Paracoccus gillianwatsonae is similar to P. burnerae (Brain, 1915) (morphological characteristics of P. burnerae based on the redescription and illustration by Williams (2004)) in having ventral multilocular disc-pores in single rows at the posterior edges of abdominal segments IV and V; it differs from the latter (character states ofP. burnerae given in parentheses) by having: (i) ventral oral collar tubular ducts absent from margins of the head (present); (ii) cerarii numbering fewer than 18 pairs (18 pairs); and (iii) translucent pores absent from hind femur (present). (Zhang, et al., 2024)
Structure: Live adult female body elongate-oval, covered with thin, pale grey, mealy wax and with short, white lateral filaments around posterior body margins; these becoming successively longer on posteriormost four segments, with caudal filaments longest, each about 1/3 as long as maximum body width. Slide-mounted adult female body elongate-oval, 1.4–1.8 mm long and 0.8–1.0 mm wide. Anal lobes moderately developed, dorsal surface of each lobe with a small, slightly sclerotized area; ventral surface with long apical seta, each 180–200 μm long, and anal lobe bar present forwards from apical seta. Antennae each usually with 8 segments. (Zhang, et al., 2024)
