Systematics: Fulaspis mazoeensis is unique in the curious form of the squamae on the pygidium (Hall, 1931). F. mazoeensis is close to F. guilliermi in possessing perivulvar pores, but differs from it and F. bytinskii in possessing a more rounded pygidium (Williams, 1960c).
Structure: Female scale yellowish white, elongate, exuviae pale brown, 1.5 mm long. Male scale 1 mm long, whitish, smooth, uncarinated, exuviae pale brown. Adult female fusiform, 1.2 mm long, body membranous except for pygidium (Williams, 1960c).
