Remarks

• Systematics: Chionaspis sivapuriana resembles C. agranulata in having squat, broadly rounded median lobes. C. agranulata differs from C. sivapuriana in the basal zygosis of the median lobes not much produced anteriorly, in having many small submedian dorsal ducts on the 2nd to 5th abdominal segments, in the disc pores associated with the anterior spiracle much fewer (4-10), in lacking disc pores at the posterior spiracles, etc (Takagi, 1985).
• Biology: Chionaspis sivapuriana was collected at an altitude of 1900 m. (Takagi, 1985).
• General Remarks: Best description and illustration by Takagi (1985).
