Remarks

• Systematics: After a review of the type series of both species, Danzig & Gavrilov-Zimin 2014 synonimized Artemicoccus with Coccidohystrix. However, Moghaddam (2015) disagreed with this synonymization, stating that "Artemicoccus differs from Coccidohystrix in two main characters as follows (character states of the latter species in brackets): (i) cerarii with trilocular pores [cerarii with discoidal pores] and (ii) all cerarii situated on dorsum [all cerarii located on elevated sclerotised plates]. The Iranian specimens of Artemisia bispinus differ in some respects from the description by Borchsenius (1949), Ter-Grigoiran (1973) and Danzig et al. (2012) as follows (character states of specimens described by the latter authors in brackets): (i) most of cerarii with 2–5 setae [maximum 2 setae], (ii) dorsal cerarii in longitudinal rows [not in longitudinal rows]. (Moghaddam, 2015)
• Structure: Adult female body oval, yellowish, covered by a felt white ovisac. Dorsal tubular ducts numerous. Ventral trilocular pores distributed along body margin and near spiracles. Slide-mounted adult female oval to broadly oval. Anal lobes well developed. Antennae each with 7 segments. Legs well developed; claw with a denticle; tarsal digitules each pointed at tip and shorter than claw. Cerarii numbering 15 pairs, each with 2‒5 enlarged conical setae and 2 or 3 trilocular pores, each present on flat and weakly sclerotised areas. Circulus and ostioles absent. (Moghaddam & Watson, 2022)
• General Remarks: Good description of the adult female given by Borchsenius (1949) and by Tang (1992).Good description and illustration of the adult female given by Ter-Grigorian (1973). Good description of the adult female given by Borchsenius (1949) and by Tang (1992).
