Remarks
- Systematics: Neoquernaspis unciformis is similar to N. nepalensis, but the former has median lobes diverged from the base and with a short gap between them, while those of the latter are fused in the base and separated only at the top end of the lobes. Also, the former has fewer dorsal ducts than that latter and there are no pores around the 2 pairs of spiracles (Jiang & Chen, 1984).
- Structure: Female scale white, convex, curved into a "V" shape. Adult females very thin and slightly sclerotized, without constrictive serrates along the marginal side between every two abdominal segments. No parastigmatic pores around the spiracles. Median lobes separated from the base, general shape is triangular, with 4 marginal dorsal ducts, first pair each with a pore prominence beside median lobe (Jiang & Chen, 1984).
- General Remarks: Detailed description and illustration by Jiang & Chen (1984).
