Systematics: This species is similar to Aulacaspis tubercularis in the median trullae and the pygidial margin, but is smaller than the latter in the size of the pygidium and also of the fully grown body, and differs in having the prosomatic tubercles at most suggested by angles on the prosomatic margin and in the wax-secreting organs generally very few. (Takagi, 2014)
Structure: Body of fully grown adult female rather slender, of the rosae-type in shape, prosoma somewhat wider than long, the frontal margin boradly rounded, the curved into perpendicular lateral margins, with prosomatic tuercles sometimes produced; metathorax sidtinctly narrower than prosoma. Median trullae sunken into apex of pygidium, moderately divergent, slongate, with mesal margins abruptly curved outwasds at about apical third, serrate especially apically to the curve; basally united together by a pair of small sclerites, whcih are confluent with a pair of slender sclerotized lines on the ventral surfact of the pygidium. (Takagi, 2014)
Biology: Female and male tests occurring on the lower surface of the leaves; female tests flat, very thin. (Takagi, 2014)
