Keys

Remarks

• Systematics: Williams & Watson (1988) state that "there may be some reason for including this species in Shansiaspis Tang, in possessing two ducts between the median and second lobes, but species of Shansiaspis possess many more dorsal ducts including a submedian group on segment 6. Chionaspis freycinetiae, however, seems to be so closely related to C. pandanicola, that it is left in Chionaspis for the present.
• General Remarks: Best description and illustration by Williams & Watson (1988).
