Systematics: Ischnafiorinia malayana differs from I. bambusae in the shape of the median lobes of the 2nd exuviae. It resembles Formosaspis nigra in the long slender and blackish 2nd exuviae, but in that species the median lobes shorter, parallel; 2nd lobes duplicate, notched on each side and pygidium with longitudinal lines, a fimbriated plate between the median and 2nd lobes and with 3 fimbriated plates outside of the 2nd lobes (Takahashi, 1942).
Structure: Adult female brownish black, 2nd larval exuviae about 1.75 mm long, 0.18 mm wide, median lobes moderately diverging, longer than wide, not slender, rounded apically, not curved, notched on each side, especially prominently so on the mesal side (Takahashi, 1942).
