Comments.

According to the descriptions of Chorizococcus mirzayansi , it should not be placed in genus Chorizococcus based on possessing more than 5 pairs of cerarii, a major diagnostic character in distinguishing genus Chorizococcus from genus Spilococcus in Williams’s definition (2004) or it should be included in genus Spilococcus sesu lato proposed by Danzig (1998). A new combination is made here for Chorizococcus mirzayansi as above.
