Remarks
- Systematics: The distinguishing feature is that there are 8 conspicuous sclerotizations on the dorsum of the adult female, and 5 groups of perivulvar pores. The number of pores in each group is far more than that of other species of the same genus. There are 2 pairs of marginal ducts between the median lobes and the third lobes of the second-instar nymph. There are 3 marginal ducts anterior of the third lobe. (Jiang, 2002)
