Remarks

• Systematics: Slide-mounted adult female with: enlarged setae conical, sides straight, apices acute, abundant over surface; possibly with dorsal multilocular pores dorsally; possibly without dorsal macroducts (Archangelskaya, 1931). There is some contradiction between the description of Archangelskaya (1930) and Borchsenius (1949), concerning the presence of multilocular pores on dorsum. According to Archangelskaya multilocular pores are present (as mentioned in the Russian and English text of the author), Borchsenius (1949) mentioned their presence clearly only on venter, and did not pay attention to this part of the text by Archangelskaya (1930). Macrotubular ducts were also not mentioned by Archangelkaya (1930). (Kozár, et al., 2013)
• Structure: Adult female body is egg-shaped (Borchsenius, 1949), light-yellow color, legs and antennae are light-brown, 2.5 mm long, 1.4 mm wide. (Kozár, et al., 2013)
• General Remarks: Detailed description by Borchsenius (1949).
