Remarks
- Systematics: Planococcus bagmaticus is the only known species of Planococcus in southern Asia with dorsal multilocular disc pores. The species is close to Planococcus epulus De Lotto described from Kenya which also has dorsal multilocular disc pores, but P. epulus possesses dorsal transverse rows of oral collar tubular ducts, whereas in P. bagmaticus, all dorsal oral collar tubular ducts are restricted to small lateral groups on abdominal segments VI and VII. (Zarkani, et al., 2023)
