Remarks

• Systematics: Theis species is similar to A. vietnamensis Williams that also has multilocular pores of two sizes (in contrast to all other Oriental species). However, A. diversiglandulosa differs in having many more large groups of irregular pores located behind spiracles on abdominal sternites II-VII (in contrast to compact groups in A. vietnamensis located on sternites II and III only) and in the absence of circulus. In the neighboring Palaearctic fauna, two-sized multilocular pores are known in A. vera Borchsenius, 1956 only, but this species differs from A. diversiglandulosa in the total absence of irregular pores. (Gavrilov-Zimin, 2016a)
• Structure: Female.body broadly oval, up to 3 mm long, sclerotized in mature females (especially posterior segment of abdomen), totally enclosed in thin wax sac. Antennae 2-segmented. Legs totally absent. Anal apparatus located inside long anal tube; anal ring with 6 long setae, each longer than anal tube.
• Biology: Cytogenetic data: Lecanoid heterochromatinization; 2n = 20. (Gavrilov, 2016a)
• General Remarks: Detailed description and illustration in Gavrilov-Zimin, 2016.
