Remarks

• Systematics: Prococcus cambodiensis differs from P. acutissimus as follows (character-states for P. acutissimus given in brackets): (i) body tapering at both ends, each end rounded (tapering at both ends, each end more-or-less pointed); (ii) dorsal derm with numerous areolations (small round or oval clear areas present on the dorsum (Gill et al. 1977)); (iii) dorsal setae slender and cylindrical with bluntly rounded apices (robust, spine like and slightly tapering with pointed or blunt apices); (iv) claw digitules not discernable, possibly absent (claw digitules unequal, with 1 thick and 1 thin); (v) antennae mainly 2 segmented (mainly 3 segmented); and (vi) inter-antennal setae absent (2 pairs of inter-antennal setae present between antennal bases). (Cao, et al., 2022)
• Structure: Body of adult female narrow, elongate to elongate oval, pointed at anterior and posterior ends, 2.0–2.5 mm long, 1.0–1.7 mm wide; young insects in life yellow. Dorsum with derm slightly sclerotized in older females, with well-developed dermal areolations; setae cylindrical with bluntly rounded apices; dorsal tubular ducts absent; submarginal tubercles numbering 14 around body; preopercular pores in an elongate group anterior to anal plates; anal plates each triangular, together quadrate, length of posterior margin almost equal to anterior margin; each plate with 1 subdiscal seta and 2 or 3 apical setae.
