Systematics: This species is characteristic in having narrow lateral trullae, which are variable in bredth. Aulacaspis cinnamomorum is similar to A. kedahana and A. jeraiana in that the median trullae are pointed at the apex, where the mesal margin meets the lateral to form an angle, in the lateral trullae with the lobules narrowed in various degrees (often much narrowed in A. cinnamomorum) and in the dorsal macroducts remarkably reduced in occurrence and number. (Takagi, 2014)
Structure: Body of fully grown adult female rathe slender, of the rossae-type in shape; prosoma somewhat wider than long, rounded on free margin, with prosomatic tubercles indiscernible or suggested by slight prominences; postsoma roughly parallel-sided on metathorax. Median trullaw sunken into apex of pygidium, large, moderately divergent, joinned together basally, mesal margin serrate, gently rounded, apically meeting lateral margin, with which it forms a narrow angle. (Takagi, 2014)
Biology: Female and male tests occurring on the leaves, on the lower surface of on both serfaces; female tests small, flat, and thin. (Takagi, 2014)
