Systematics: This species is characteristized by the median trullae, which are large, strongly divergent, and tapering apically. In this feature, it is somewhat similar to Aulacaspis actinodaphnes Takagi. These two species may have no particular relation between them, differing greatly in other features. (Takagi, 2018)
Structure: Adult female at full growth with prosoma distinctly broader than postsoma, metathorax and basal 2 abdominal segments nearly the same in width, pygidium nearly straight marginally. Prosoma with anterior margin rounded and with lateral sides nearly parallel to each other; prosomatic tubercles large, broadly rounded; peribuccal scleroses well formed. Anterior spiracles each with a small cluster of disc pores; posterior spiracles each with a few to several disc pores. Perivulvar disc pores in small groups. Enlarged microducts strewn submarginally on ventral surface of prosoma in pro- and mesothoracic areas, especially extensively on mesothorax; usually present also on metathorax and first abdominal segment ventrally within lateral margin, but generally few.
