Remarks
- Systematics: Kuwanaspis tanzawensis is close to K. bambusicola, but may be distinguishable from the latter by the shape of the body, by the anterior spiracles with numerous disc pores, by having numerous gland spines on Abd. II (Takagi & Kawai, 1966).
- Structure: Adult female elongate-fusiform, prolonged in the mesothoracic region, broadest across the metathorax and tapering towards both ends, but less posteriorly. Pygidium with 2 pairs of lobes (Takagi & Kawai, 1966).
- General Remarks: Best description and illustration by Takagi & Kawai (1966).
