Systematics: Aulacaspis jeraiana is similar to A. kedahana and A. cinnamomorum 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. It is different in that it is of the witis-type whereas the other two species are of the rosae-type. This species differs from A. cinnomomorum in having the prosoma roughly pentagonal in outline whereas A. cinnomomorum has a rounded prosoma. (Takagi, 2014)
Structure: Body of full grown adult female rather slender, of the rosae-type in shape; prosoma somewhat wider than long, roughly pentagonal in outline, prosomatic tubercles suggested by rounded prominences; postsoma rather slender, roughly parallel-sided on metathorax. Median trullae sunken into spex of pygidium, large, elongate, moderately divergent, joined together throuh thick bases, each with mesal margin serate, gently rounded, apically meeting lateral margin, with which it forms a narrow angle.
