Remarks
- Systematics: Kerria manipurensis is very similar to Kerria javana (Chamberlin) in having: (i) the supra-anal plate abbreviated and hispid, (ii) brachia short and indistinct, and (iii) brachial plate quadrate/rectangular with 4 or 5 indistinct dimples. However, it differs in having (character states in K. javana in brackets): (i) antennae three segmented with 3 long setae (single segmented with 4 long setae); (ii) the dorsal spine is 1.16x longer than the width of brachial plate (as long as width of brachial plate); (iii) each anterior spiracle is 1.31x longer than the width of brachial plate (length smaller or equal to width of brachial plate); and (iv) the distance of anterior spiracle from crater rim to width of brachial plate is 1.38x greater in K. manipurensis than that of K. javana. (Ahmad, et al., 2013)
- Structure: Lac test light brown, soft, resinous. Tests occur in aggregations; live mature females crimson. (Ahmad, et al., 2013)
