Remarks
- Systematics: Vahedi & Hodgson (2007) conisidered that P. cynodontis is a synonym of P. hamelii, but did not introduce a formal synonymy. Thoracic spiracles larger than those in most other Porphyrophora species, each with an apodeme; peritreme with about 10 spiracular disc-pores and with a group of 3–15 perispiracular sensilla on lateral margin (Moghaddam & Watson, 2024).
- Structure: In life: Body more-or-less egg-shaped and hairy; derm flexible and soft; body densely pubescent (Jakubski 1965); colour ranging from bright violet to dark red. Microscope diagnosis: Antennae each with 9–12 or 13 segments; sensillum placodeum on segment IV usually present, elongate oval to almond shaped, containing 7–12 sensilla plus a short fleshy seta; most other intermediate segments naked but a few bearing 1 or 2 setae; apical segment enlarged, bearing some flagellate setae, several fleshy setae and sensilla (Moghaddam & Watson, 2024).
- Biology: Adults emerge August - September (Jashenko, 1999).
- General Remarks: Description and illustration of adult female by Archangelskaya (1935), Borchsenius (1950b), Jakubski (1965), Vahedi (2002) and by Vahedi & Hodgson (2007).
