Remarks

• Systematics: urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act:0BDE1E17-B41C-4293-8779-192A0FC8EB62 DNA sequence fragments of several loci of Chusqueaspis patriciae, and associated endosymbiotic bacteria have been have been published: 28S, GenBank accession numbers DQ145379 (D0281A) and MH933990 (D0553A); EF‐1α MH915718 (D0281E) and DQ145491 (D0281A); COIII, GQ425000 (D0281A), Chusqueaspis patriciae can be distinguished from C. riverae by the absence of perivulvar pores (pores present inC. riverae) and from C. gonzalezi by the paucity of disc pores (fewer than 16) near each anterior and posterior spiracle, whereas C. gonzalezi has more than 17 pores near each anterior and posterior spiracle. Chusqueaspis patriciae also differs from both the other species in having all pygidial dorsal ducts similar in size, including those nearest the margin (in C. riverae and C. gonzalezi, marginal ducts are slightly larger than the other dorsal ducts). (Amouroux, et al., 2020)
• Structure: Adult female not pupillarial, dorsal scale cover slightly convex, elongate oval with subcentral or submarginal exuviae, yellow to brown with yellow exuviae, ventral cover white; body light brown; found on host stems in greatest numbers in the areas covered by the leaf sheaths. Slide‐mounted adult female. 610–1400 μm long (median 1250 μm, holotype 1400 μm), 480–1120 μmwide (median 940 μm, holotype 1120 μm). Body outline turbinate, broadest at mesothorax. Prosoma sometimes becoming sclerotised at full maturity; otherwise derm membranous throughout except for abdominal segments VI–VIII and submarginal areas of segment V.
• General Remarks: Detailed description and illustration in Amouroux, et al., 2020.
