Systematics: Dysmicoccus zeynepae is most similar to D. finitimus in having anal lobe and other abdominal cerarii each containing a group of about 2‒7 conical setae. However, D. zeynepae can be readily distinguished from D. finitimus in having: (i) no multilocular disc pores and oral collar tubular ducts on dorsum; and (ii) a few multilocular disc pores without oral collar tubular ducts on venter. It is also close to D. lepelleyi in having small legs and translucent pores on hind coxa and femur, but D. zeynepae lacks oral collar tubular ducts on both dorsum and venter. Dysmicoccus zeynepae is also close to D. castanopseus Williams in lacking oral collar tubular ducts on dorsum and venter; however, it can be readily distinguished by having (character state for D. castanopseus given in parentheses): (i) small, stout legs with tibia + tarsus obviously shorter than trochanter + femur (large legs with tibia + tarsus very slightly longer than trochanter + femur); and (ii) translucent pores on the hind coxa and femur (translucent pores on hind femur and tibia).
