Remarks

• Systematics: Slide-mounted adult female with: enlarged setae conical, sides straight, apices acute, 2 sizes of setae, larger size forming 3 indefinite longitudinal lines on each side of abdomen, smaller size scattered over rest of surface (Goux, 1992). Adult female similar to A. thymi (Schrank, 1801), but differs in several details, such as longer hair-like setae on abdominal venter, presence of spinulae and absence of pores on posterior coxae, presence of frontal lobes, and higher number of longer spines on mid dorsum. (Kozár, et al., 2013)
• Structure: Adult females redish; found at root crown of host plant, ovisac cream-white. (Kozár, et al., 2013)
• General Remarks: Detailed description and illustration by Goux (1992). Redescription and illustration in Kozár, et al., 2013. This was based on the holotype slide. The description under the name of A. guesinus (Goux, 1992, Planche II), was determined to belong to R. puymorensis in Kozár, et al., 2013. The female on the slide is similar to A. thymi, but differs in several details, such as longer hair-like setae on abdominal venter, presence of spinulae and absence of pores on posterior coxae, the presence of frontal lobes, and higher number of longer spines on mid dorsum.
