• Kaydan2015: pp.214 ( Adult (F) ) [Key to species of Peliococcus in the Palaearctric region]
• DanzigGa2014: pp.403-406 ( Adult (F) ) [Palaearctic Peliococcus species]

Remarks

• Systematics: Peliococcus agriensis Kaydan can be distinguished from other species in the genus in having: (i) only 1 size of oral collar tubular duct in each cluster and each cluster with 1-6 (usually 3) multilocular disc pores, and (ii) quinquelocular pores present medially on the venter. P. agriensis is most similar to P. calluneti in having 1 size of oral collar tubular duct on dorsum, but P. agriensis differs from P. calluneti in having (data for P. calluneti in brackets): (i) 9 segmented antennae (7 or 8 segmented antennae), and (ii) no clusters medially on venter of head (clusters present on venter of head). (Kaydan, 2015) Danzig & Gavrilov-Zimin (2014) used the name "Peliococcus agriensis" before it was made available in Kaydan, 2015. According to Article 16 (specifically 16.1 and 16.4) of the ICZN (1999), this name must be considered unavailable from their work.
• Structure: Body elongate oval, 1.51–1.76 mm long, 0.75–0.98 mm wide. Eye marginal, 35–38 µm wide. Antenna 9 segmented.
