Remarks
- Systematics: Chionaspis castanopsidis is similar to C. arkhola, but differs from the latter in the median lobes very large in comparison with 2nd, in the 3rd lobes much reduced and in other details. In all examined specimens of C. castanopsidis there have been found no small dorsal ducts in addition to the macroducts, while in C. arkhola some of the examined specimens have many small dorsal ducts. C. castanopsidis may also be similar to C. dryina (Takagi, 1985).
- Biology: Chionaspis castanopsidis was collected at an altitude of 2000 meters (Takagi, 1985).
- General Remarks: Best description and illustration by Takagi (1985).
