Remarks

• Systematics: Peliococcus phyllobius can be distinguished from other species in the genus in having the following combination of characters: (i) 15 pairs of marginal cerarii; (ii) only 1 size of oral collar tubular duct in each cluster, and (iii) each dorsal cluster with only 1-3 multilocular disc pores. P. phyllobius is most similar to P. agriensis but it differs in having only 15 pairs of marginal cerarii (P. agriensis has 17 pairs). (Kaydan, 2015)
• Structure: Adult female. Body elongate oval, 2.74–3.72 mm long, 1.54–1.94 mm wide. Eye marginal, 60–80 ìm wide. Antenna 9 segmented. (Kaydan, 2015)
• General Remarks: Good description and illustration of the adult female given by Goux (1938). Redescription and illustration in Kayday, 2015.
