Systematics: Leucaspis machili is close to L. manii, but it may be distinguished from the latter by lacking conical, sclerotized, non-glanduliferous processes laterally to the mouth-parts, by lacking gland tubercles and by lacking dorsal ducts on the apex of the pygidium (Takagi, 1969a).
Structure: Adult female body elongate-pyriform, with pygidium rounded. Derm finely and densely spiculous, especially so on the pygidium and posterior prepygidial segments; median region of the prepygidial ventrum posteriorly to the mouth-parts with delicate scaly granulations and with microducts scattered (Takagi, 1969a).
General Remarks: Detailed description and illustration by Takagi (1969a).
