Remarks

• Systematics: Fiorinia hymenanthis is similar to F. horii, but is distinguishable by the 2nd lobes being comparatively well developed, by having two pairs of marginal gland spines around the apex of the pygidium and by the ventral microducts of the pygidium much fewer. It is also similar to F. odaiensis and F. nachiensis, but can be told by the number of marginal macroducts (Takagi, 1975a).
• Structure: Adult female oblong, with head margin broadly rounded. 2nd instar exuviae oblong, with head margin flatly rounded and with pygidium comparatively small and triangular in outline (Takagi, 1975a).
• General Remarks: Best description and illustration by Takagi (1975a).
