Systematics: Fiorinia sikokiana is quite distinct due to the combination of the number of the marginal macroducts and the absence of gland spines on both the 7th and 8th abdominal segments. It is also unique in the 2nd instar female by lacking gland spines on the 7th and 8th abdominal segments (Takagi, 1975a).
Structure: Adult female oblong, head margin broadly rounded or rather flat, pygidium triangular or slightly roundish marginally. Median lobes slightly divergent, almost wholly produced. Exuviae of 2nd instar female oblong, gradually narrowing posteriorly, pygidium triangular in outline (Takagi, 1975a).
General Remarks: Best description and illustration by Takagi (1975a).
