Systematics: The adult female of Carpho. apodus is similar to the adult female Ap. idiastes in lacking legs and in having reduced antennae. It differs as follows (character states of Carpho. apodus are in brackets): body margin without crenulations or wrinkles (with wrinkles); body margin without nodules (with nodules); enlarged setae abundant over dorsum (restricted to abdomen on dorsum); with 1 size of microtubular duct (with 2 sizes, smaller ducts concentrated on venter of abdomen). (Miller & Stocks, 2022)
Structure: Holotype, slide mounted, 2.0 mm long, 1.0 mm wide (paratype 4.1 mm long, 1.1 mm wide). Body elongate, without protruding anal lobes. Anal-lobe area dorsally each without enlarged or flagellate setae, with several microtubular ducts; ventrally each with 5 or more flagellate setae, including elongate anal-lobe seta, and with several micro- and macrotubular ducts.
