Remarks

• Systematics: Duplachionaspis uniolae is distinct in having a peculiar marginal macroduct on the 7th abdominal segment, which is similar in structure to the "cup-like duct" found in the 2nd instar males of genera like Chionaspis. The 2nd instar female also has a macroduct of the same type in the position corresponding to that in the adult female. D. uniolae is similar to D. distichlii in the enlarged pygidial setae, whereas in the dorsal macroducts it is related to D. spartinae and D. asymmetrica (Takagi, 1971).
• Structure: Adult female with free abdominal segments weakly lobed laterally; pygidium triangular, apex blunt (Takagi, 1971).
• General Remarks: Best description and illustration by Takagi (1971).
