Remarks

• Systematics: Aulacaspis alisiana is close to A. mischocarpi and A. thoracica, but can be told by the dorsal macroducts much fewer and lacking on the second abdominal segment (Takagi, 1970). A. alisian differs from species in the yahunikkei complex in the medial trullae much smaller and from A. neolitseae and A. sirodamo in the side macroducts extending far anteriorly beyond the bases of the median trullae. Takagi, 2014 concluded that Kawai's identification of A. alisiana on Neolitsea sericea in Japan was a misidentification of A. neolitseae.
