Remarks
- Systematics: This species is pupillarial and semms to be related to species of Fijifiornia in posessing median lobes that are contiguous for most of their length. It differs from Fijifiornia in possessing supplementary perivulvar pores on three segments anterior to the normal perivulvar pores, and in having a reddish brown scale instead of a black one. This species does not belong to Leucaspis as presently understood (Williams & Watson, 1998).
- Biology: This species appears to be specific to Banyan (Cohic, 1958a).
- General Remarks: Detailed description and illustration by Cohic (1958a).
