Remarks

Systematics: Acanthococcus papaveroi resembles A. jorgenseni (Morrison, 1919), A. dubius and A. piptadeniae in having conical dorsal with acute apex. Based on the features of A. jorgenseni from the cotype examined and from Kozár and Konczné Benedicty (2008), A papaveroi differs from A. jorgenseni, in having (character-states of A. jorgenseni in brackets): (i) cruciform pores present in cephalic region (along margin), (ii) frontal lobes present (absent), (iii) microtubular ducts sparsely present throughout dorsal surface, but most numerous on thorax (sparse, never numerous), and (iv) anal lobes with two ventral flagellate setae (three ventral flagellate setae). Acanthococcus papaveroi differs from A. dubius in having (character-states of A. dubius in brackets taken from Miller and Miller, 1992): (i) dorsal setae arranged in transverse bands (in longitudinal bands), (ii) antennae with seven segments (six), (iii) frontal lobes present (absent), and (iv) prothoracic tibia with five setae (six). Acanthococcus papaveroi differs from A. piptadeniae in having (character-states of A. piptadeniae in brackets taken from González and Claps, 2011): (i) metacoxae each with 30–35 pores (6–10 pores), (ii) microtubular ducts of one type only (two types), (iii) basal segment of labium with one pair of setae (two pairs), and (iv) anal lobes each with 2 flagellate setae ventrally (3 flagellate setae ventrally). (Gonzelez, et al., 2020)

Structure: Macrotubular ducts and type B microtubular ducts numerous throughout dorsal surface but restricted to margin on ventral surface; metacoxae with 30–35 (30 dorsal and 0–5 ventral) translucent pores; anal lobes each with 2 ventral setae; basal segment of labium with one pair of setae; small frontal lobes present.
