Remarks

• Systematics: Bantudiaspis faureae is close to B. loranthi. It differs in having fewer dorsal pores on the pygidium and those of a size markedly smaller than the marginal pores (Hall, 1941).
• Structure: Puparium of adult female small and delicate, subcircular, white, with yellow exuviae. Adult female broadly oval, dermis membranous with the exception of the pygidium. Old individuals frequently with a distinct broad band of chitinisation round the entire anterior margin and extending down as far as the first abdominal segment on either side (Hall, 1941).
• General Remarks: Detailed description and illustration by Hall (1941). Redescription and illustration by Munting (1973).
