Remarks
- Systematics: Fiorinia rhododendri is near F. horii, but differs in the elongate body, the median lobes closely placed, the fewer marginal glands and the presence of the 2nd lobes. The interantennal tubercle resembles that of F. saprosmae and the median lobes have markings through the whole length (Takahashi, 1935).

- General Remarks: Best description and illustration by Takahashi (1935).
