Remarks
- Systematics: This species can be separated easily from V. amaryllidis (Bouché) in having wide oral ducts instead of rows of oral rim ducts on the dorsum.
- Structure: Slide-mounted adult female broadly oval. Anal lobes moderately developed. Antennae each with 9 segments. Legs well developed; hind leg with numerous translucent pores on tibia only; claw stout, with a small denticle; tarsal digitules clubbed at tip and longer than claw. (Moghaddam & Watson, 2022)
- Economic Importance: According to D. J.Williams (pers. comm.) this species could have been introduced in Iran via plant trade from African or other southern countries. (Moghaddam, 2015)
- General Remarks: Good description and illustration of the adult female given by Williams (1985).
