Systematics: Contigaspis subnudata is allied to Augulaspis nudata, but is easily distinguished from by the form and position of the median lobes and also the shape of the adult female (Newstead, 1912).
Structure: Scale of female broadly pyriform, faintly and irregularly striated transversely, white with a trace of pale slate grey anteriorly; larval pellicles varying from yellow to dark grey or dark brown. Puparium of male white, with sharply defined median ridge, sides rounded. Adult female subpyriform, widening considerably in the region of the free abdominal segments (Newstead, 1912).
General Remarks: Best description and illustration by Newstead (1912).
