Remarks
- Systematics: Neoquernaspis tengjiensis is close to N. nepalensis, but differs in the 2nd lobe being bilobulate in shape, by the number of perivulvar pores and by the absence of dorsal ducts on the 7th abdominal segment (Hu, 1984). Tao (1999) erroneously lists Aulacaspis flacourtiae Rutherford (=Rutherfordia major) as a junior synonym of Neoquernaspis tengjiensis.
- Structure: Adult female body fusiform, 1.55-1.95 mm long, 2nd abdominal segment broadest, 0.7-0.96 mm wide. Antennae with 2 setae. 2 pairs pygidial lobes. Median lobes set quite close together, each lobe rounded apically, not notched on both sides (Hu, 1984).
- General Remarks: Detailed description and illustration by Hu (1984).
