Remarks
- Systematics: This species bears some relationship to Aonidia viridis and A. javanensis, since both have 5 long finger-like processes; in A. viridis the 3 median processes are bifid and the outermost is divided into 3; in A. javanensis the second lateral pair of processes is entire (Laing, 1933).
- Structure: Cover subcircular, highly convex, warm reddish brown; diameter .57mm. Early stage female of normal pyriform shape, with numerous rather strong setae on the cephalic region and around the margin (Laing, 1933).
- General Remarks: Detailed description and illustration by Laing (1933).
