Myrmozercon liguricus (Vitzthum, 1930)

Myrmonyssus liguricus Vitzthum, 1930: 90 .

Diagnosis. Body length 540–580; dorsal shield truncate posteriorly, with approximately 31 pairs of setae; anterior pair (j1) of setae and posterior body setae longer than other body setae. Sternal shield an inverted U-shape; setae st4 absent. Genital shield with some lineate reticulation anterolaterally. Anal shield with short anterolateral extensions. Peritreme extending to mid-coxa II. Chelicerae with fixed digit obsolete. Legs short, leg I about half length of body. Host: Crematogaster scutellaris (Olivier) .

Remarks. This species is most similar to M. tauricus and is most easily distinguished by the fixed cheliceral digit (obsolete in M. liguricus, slightly reduced in M. tauricus) and the form of the sternal shield (not eroded between st1-st 1 in M. liguricus, eroded between st1-st 1 in M. tauricus).
