Remarks

• Systematics: This species differs from Aulacaspis wakayamensis (=A. madiunensis) in the characters of the median lobes, the slender body, the presence of dorsal glands on the basal abdominal segments (Takahashi, 1935). It is also similar to A. kuzunoi from which it can be told by the dorsal macroducts present as far as the basal segment of the abdomen and by the median lobes well divergent (Takagi, 1970).
• General Remarks: Detailed description and illustration by Takagi (1970).
