Type details. MEXICO, Jalisco, Zapotlan, on sage, 7.vii.1902?, Townsend. Depositories: USNM: lectotype adf (designated by Lambdin & Kosztarab 1977: 227) (p) plus a bit of a paralectotpe adf on one slide; also 1/1 anterior part of paralectotype adf + 3/16 first-instar nymphs. BMNH: labelled “ type ”, data as for lectotype, 1/about 7 adff (vp) + 1 slide with embryos.

Material examined. Lectotype, Solenophora zapotlana Ckll , MEXICO: Jalisco, Zapotlan, on a wild sage-like plant, rec. July 1903, T.r.B. Cyo #55 (USNM): 1/1adf + a bit (p). Also, as previous but remounted, paralectotype (USNM, ABH 23a): 1/1adf (p, missing posterior abdomen).

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.
