MillerSt2022: pp.87-88 ( Adult (F) ) [Ovaticoccus and Hypericicoccus species]

Systematics: The adult female of Ov. tuttlei is most similar to the adult female of Ov. haigi in having a very reduced anal ring, dorsal and ventral cruciform pores, and dorsal multilocular pores. These species differ as follows (character states in brackets are those of Ov. tuttlei): with 6-segmented antennae (7-segmented); with translucent pores present on derm anterior to hind coxae (absent); each femur with four setae including one proximal seta (five setae including two proximal setae); multilocular pores predominantly with five loculi (seven loculi). (Miller & Stocks, 2022)
Structure: Holotype, slide-mounted, 1.6 mm long, 0.5 mm wide (paratypes 1.4–1.6 mm long, 0.5–0.6 mm wide). Body elongate oval, with slightly protruding anal lobes. Anal-lobe areas dorsally each with 2 slightly enlarged flagellate setae (paratypes 2 or 3), 0 and 1 microtubular duct (paratypes 0 or 1), and 7 7-locular pores or 9-locular pores (paratypes 5–9 5-locular pores, 7-locular pores, or 9-locular pores); ventrally each with 2 flagellate setae including anal-lobe seta, and 7 or 8 5-locular pores, 7-locular pores, or 9-locular pores (paratypes 6 or 7 7-locular pores or 9-locular pores), without macrotubular ducts (paratypes 0 or 1).
