Remarks

• Systematics: Ischnaspis macrolobii is allied to Trischnaspis bipindensis, but may be distinguished from it by the claviform thickening at the base of the mesal lobule of the first lateral, the difference in the pattern of the lattice-work area, the inner margins of the first pair of lateral lobules being non-serrated, and the absence of perivulvar pores (Laing, 1932).
• Structure: Puparium linear, narrow, convex, straight or slightly curved, broadening out to the posterior end of the nymphal pellicle, light brown, sometimes with a faint reddish tint. Pellicle oval, pale brownish yellow. Nymphal pellicle usually the same color as puparium, but sometimes with a yellow tint. Adult female long, narrow, linear, older females rigid and strongly chitinized (Laing, 1932).
• General Remarks: Descriptions and illustrations by Laing (1932) and Ben-Dov (1974).
