Remarks

• Systematics: Currently, in Japan C. seruratus is recognized as C. matsumotoi. Its morphology differs significantly from “C. matsumotoi” reported by Ezzat & McConnell (1956) and Williams (2004), by having the following morphological characteristics (contrasting characteristics of the material incorrectly identified as “C. matsumotoi” are stated in parentheses): (i) a small number of cerarii, numbering fewer than 8 pairs (cerarii numbering 15–16 pairs); and (ii) oral collar tubular ducts of two different sizes present on venter (venter with only one size of oral collar tubular ducts). Therefore, Tanaka and Kamitani describee “C. matsumotoi” reported by Ezzat & McConnell (1956) and Williams (2004) as a distinct, new species, Crisicoccus ezzati.
• Structure: Crisicoccus ezzati bears some similarities to C. orchidiradicis (Takahashi 1951) from Malaysia in having a large number of cerarii (≥ 15 pairs) and anterior cerarii with relatively narrow, elongated cerarian setae. However, it differs by the following morphological characteristics (contrasting characteristics of C. orchidiradicis are given in parentheses): (i) 15–16 pairs of cerarii (17 pairs); (ii) translucent pores present on hind coxae (without translucent pores on hind coxae), and (iii) anterior cerarii lacking auxiliary setae (all cerarii containing auxiliary setae).
