Remarks

• Systematics: Peliococcus globulariae can be distinguished from other species in the genus in having only 1 size of oral collar tubular duct in each cluster and each dorsal cluster with 3-12 multilocular disc pores. P. globulariae is closest to P. rosae but differs in having well-defined dorsal clusters on the abdominal segments, each with 8-12 multilocular disc pores, whereas clusters on P. rosae are in ill-defined, fusing into rather wide bands. (Kaydan, 2015)
• Structure: Body elongate oval, 0.81–0.84 mm long, 1.34–1.44 mm wide. Eye marginal, 37–45 ìm wide. Antenna 9 segmented.
• General Remarks: Good description and illustration of the adult female given by Goux (1937b). Redescription and illustration in Kaydan, 2015.
