Remarks

• Systematics: Chionaspis arkhola is similar to C. himalaica, another species associated with Quercus (Takagi, 1985).
• Structure: Takagi (1985) states that "it is noteworthy that the spiracular disc pores are 4-locular in this species, because, so far as I am aware, this type of spiracular disc pores occurs only in a few peculiar genera (Haliaspis, Collubia)."
• General Remarks: Best description and illustration by Takagi (1985).
