Remarks

• Systematics: Bromusicoccus gulsunae Kaydan sp. n. is characterized by the following combination of features: (i) complete absence of cerarii; (ii) multilocular disc pores absent from dorsum; (iii) oral collar tubular ducts scattered on the head and thorax, and present in rows across the abdomen; (iv) translucent pores present on coxa, and (v) antenna 7-segmented. In the phylogenetic tree (based on the DNA of 28S and COI genes) given in Kaydan et al. (2015), Fig. 1, B. gulsunae is a sister taxon of Mirococcopsis multicircularia (which was also found on a grass in Turkey). Although these two species share some common morphological features such as the presence of oral rim tubular ducts, a fully developed anal ring and the complete absence of cerarii, B. gulsunae differs from M. multicircularia in having (features for M. multicircularia in brackets) (i) only one circulus (more than one); (ii) oral rim tubular ducts on dorsum in transverse rows across the segments (only a few on dorsum); (iii) antenna 7 segmented (6 segmented), and (iv) absence of oral collar tubular ducts on dorsum (oral collar tubular ducts present in single rows across dorsal segments).
