Systematics: Rhizoecus muranyii can be distinguished by: (i) having multilocular pores only on the head; (ii) having only one size of tritubular pores on the dorsum and venter. Rhizoecus muranyii is similar to R. arabicus Hambilton, R. chilensis Hambleton and R. elongatus Green; (i) in lacking multilocular disc pores on the dorsum, (ii) in having oral collar ducts on the dorsum and venter, (iii) in having 6 segmented antennae and (iv) in lacking multilocular pores around the vulva. However, R. muranyii differs from all three species in having multilocular disc pores on the head and thorax and around the clypeo-labral shield. This species is the only one so far in the genus bearing multilocular disc pores only on the head around the clypeo-labral shield.
