Systematics: Duplachionaspis boquetensis is distinguished by the complete absence of any suggestion of the 3rd pair of lobes, the arrangement of the pygidial gland spines singly, the fact that the submarginal ventral setae of the pygidium are not enlarged, the arrangement of the dorsal pygidial ducts in rows and the fact that they are all the same size (Ferris, 1941d).
Structure: Female scale elongate, slender, white. Male scale similar but smaller and very faintly carinate. Adult female about 1.25 mm long, slender, segments not lobed laterally, derm membranous throughout except for the pygidium (Ferris, 1941d).
Biology: Duplachionaspis boquetensis occurs on leaves of host (Ferris, 1941d).
General Remarks: Best description and illustration by Ferris (1941d).
