Remarks
- Systematics: Pseudococcus salazari is similar to the group formed by P. galapagoensis and P. panamaensis. because they have translucent pores on the tibia, eyes with a sclerotized edge with several disc pores and ducts with oral rims absent on the front of the dorsum. They differ because P. salazari has 4-8 ducts with rims between C5 and C11 (P. galapagoensis between 12-25 and none on P. panamaensis) and P. salazari has cerarii with a sclerotized surface on the penultimate anal segments (P. galapagoensis and P. panamaensis cerari only on the last segment) (Granara de Willink & González, 2018)
- Structure: Translucent pores on the tibia; eyes with sclerotized edge and 6-9 discoidal pores; anal cerari and on a sclerotized surface, with numerous trilocular pores closely grouped around the setae; tubular canals with oral rims on the dorsum on the thorax and abdomen submarginal, and in the middle zone of segments II to VI, absent in the cephalic region; 5-6, in marginal zone from C5 to C11. (Granara de Willink & González, 2018)
