Comment
. Lambdin and Kosztarab (1977) provide a good description. The adult female of
A. zapotlanus
can be diagnosed by the following combination of character-states: (i) dorsum with three sizes of 8-shaped pore; (ii) largest 8-shaped pore in swirls on head, thorax and anterior abdominal segments; (iii) smallest pores on posterior abdominal segments and in apices of each stigmatic pore band; (iv) cribriform plates round, in a submedial band of 4–9 plates on each side on abdominal segment IV; (v) leg stubs absent; (vi) posterior stigmatic pore bands bifurcated, and (vii) multilocular disc pores absent.
The adult female of
A. zapotlanus
falls within Group C in the key to species of
Antecerococcus
, close to
A. bryoides
from the Pacific Region,
A. echinatus
from
China
and
A. stellatus
from
Australia
