Systematics: Chionaspis obclavata resembles C. kabyliensis, but the larger median lobes, fewer and different scattering of dorsal ducts make it distinct from the latter (Chen, 1983).
Structure: Body of adult female elongate, invertedly clavate, length of cephalothorax two to three times more than the abdomen. Median lobes short and plump, projecting parallel backward, second lobes very small, inner lobule with triangular apex, marginal gland spines long and slender, three pairs only (Chen, 1983).
General Remarks: Best description and illustration by Chen (1983).
