Systematics: Diaspis subregularis can be told from D. spatulata (=Umbaspis spatulata) by the presence of a marginal spur on segment IV, the shape of the lobes and the absence of dorso-submedian pygidial ducts in the latter species (Munting, 1973).
Structure: Adult female puparium more or less circular, convex, but flattened at the margin. Exuviae tilted forward, within margin, but to one side. Male puparium white and very strongly tricarinate, exuviae pale brown. Adult female broadly pyriform, abdominal segmentation distinct, the margins of the segments being produced laterally (Hall, 1929a).
