Remarks. The population of P. pseudocoffeae from Iran has a smaller average body length 465 µm (Sedaghat Far & Mohammad Deimi 2007) vs about 558 µm and 554 µm (as stated in Inserra et al. 1998 and Mizukubo 1992 respectively), the position of the excretory pore 78 vs 84.9 and 88 µm from the anterior end of the body, and the distance between vulva and anus 66 vs 82.9 and 80 µm.
