WolffCl2010: pp.232 ( Adult (F) ) [Key to Diaspidistis, based on the characters of adult females]

Systematics: Adult females of Diaspidistis tucumanensis differ from other species of this genus by having the whole body strongly sclerotized, piriformis and greater number of short spines on the anterior margin of the third pigidial lobe. This species is similar to D. memorabilis but without abdominal pigidial lobes and with median lobes with a sclerotized base.
