Remarks

• Systematics: This species resembles D. subtilis Borchsenius 1958, but is easily distinguished by the following characters:1) submarginal dorsal ducts present on each of the second to fifth abdominal segments, but the latter on the second to sixth abdominal segments;2) posterior spiracle without disc pore, the latter with 8-12 disc pores. (Feng, et al., 2004) This species apparently belongs to the vitis-type in body shape and may be close to Aulacaspis marginata. (Takagi, 2012a)
• Structure: the adult female of Duplachionaspis yunnanensis was described as nearly turbinate, remarkably swollen in the meso- and metathorax, and broadest across the mesothorax. The figure accompanying the description shows this body shape, which is characteristic of the vitis type of Aulacaspis. It shows also the occurrence of lateral macroducts and gland spines on the second and third abdominal segments and the absence of these organs on the thoracic and basal abdominal segments, the combination of these characters being diagnostic of Aulacaspis as understood by Takagi (1999). (Takagi & De Faveri, 2011a)
