Remarks

• Systematics: Chionaspis camphora is similar to Pseudaulacaspis ericacea in general appearance. The main differing characters are: in C. camphora, the antennae are separated much more widely than that of P. ericacea, the number of anterior spiracular disk pores is fewer, the median lobes are quite different in external appearance, and without a pair of small setae between them. Also, the dorsal ducts are arranged more irregularly and with more number, and their distribution is an important trait to distinguish it from other species (Chen, 1983).
• General Remarks: Best description and illustration by Chen (1983).
