Systematics: Takahashi (1933) states that this species is closely allied to Unaspis permutans, but differs in the following characters: scale white, not transparent; dorsal gland orifices distributed differently; median lobes in an incision. This species is peculiar in the body strongly chitinized, with areolations discernible on the pygidium, and in lacking circumgenital pores. Somewhat resembles Pseudaulacaspis gynandropsidis, but differs in lacking circumgenital pores and in many other characters.
General Remarks: Best description and illustration by Takahashi (1933).
