The genus Physokermes currently contains 13 species, of which eight occur in the Palearctic Region ( Kozar et al . 2012 ; García Morales et al . 2016 ). In the adult female, anal plates are absent, and antennae and legs are reduced; but well-developed antennae, legs and anal plates are present in the immature stages (Williams & Kosztarab 1972; Kozar et al . 2012 ). In Türkiye , two species are known ( Ülgentürk 2016 ), one of which was collected in Ankara during this study.
