Remarks
- Systematics: This species is similar to Aulacaspis bambusae (Green) especially in the distribution of the dorsal ducts. A. thorntoni differs from A. bambusae, (characters in parentheses) by having prepygidial body margin converging towards apex of pygidium (parallel sided), median lobesw nearly parallel (divergent), margin of segment II weakly produced (strongly produced). This species is also similar to A. tubercularis, but differs by lacking a distinct peribuccal sclerosis and having more dorsal macroducts. (Williams & Miller, 2010)
