Remarks

• Systematics: Duplachionaspis bara is close to D. erianthi from which it is separable by the shape and size of the lobes, the more numerous ducts on the second and third abdominal segments submargially and the fewer gland spines on the second abdominal segment (Mamet, 1959a).
• Structure: Female scale elongate, broadest behind, dirty white, very thin, somewhat translucent, low convex, exuviae terminal; larval exuviae shiny, colorless, transparent. Adult female elongate, widest across metathorax, 1 mm long, derm membranous throughout (Mamet, 1959a).
• General Remarks: Best description and illustration by Mamet (1959a).
