Remarks
- Systematics: Aulacaspis loranthi resembles A. rosae, but can be distinguished by the color of the female body and the prominent pygidial lobes (Green, 1900a). This species is unique in having a narrowly oblong body and an incompletely formed prosoma, in which the mesothorax is clearly demarcated from the mass composed of the head and prothorax on the dorsal surface. (Takagi, 2012a)
- Structure: Adult female body elongate, a little more than twice as long as broad. Oblong, with the lateral sides nearly parallel, a little constricted on metathorax and abdominal segment I. (Takagi, 2012a)
- Biology: Female and male tests occurring on the lower surface (female tests sometimes on the upper surface) of leaves. Female tests mostly occurring along leaf veins, narrow with exuvial casts terminal; Broader when occurring on the blade, off the veins. Male tests tricarinate. (Takagi, 2012a)
- General Remarks: Detailed description and illustration by Green (1900a).
