Systematics: Greeniella calophylli is similar to G. javanensis (Green) and G. mesuae (Green) in that both have many gland tubercles on the prepygidial lobes, large embryos, and a wide body. Contrasting characters for G. javanensis and G. mesuae are given in parentheses. Greeniella calophylli differs from G. javanensis by having 3 pairs of truncate lobes (2 pairs of narrow rounded lobes) and no processes between the lobes (long processes between the lobes). Greeniella calophylli differs from G. mesuae by having median lobes of same size and shape as second and third lobes (median lobes smaller and with rounded apex) and only single process between lobes 2 and 3 (3 or 4 processes between lobes 2 and 3).
