worldwide (Ben-Dov
et al

COMMENTS
. Any material of
A. crawi
has been available for critical study. Kozár
et al
. (1996) listed it in the checklist of Iranian coccids. This species differs from
A. graminis
in possessing multilocular disc pores around the entire margin and in lacking the small invaginated pocket behind each posterior spiracle. The accompanying illustration and diagnosis first appeared in Williams & Miller (2002) and are used here with permission from the editor
