  Newsteadia andreae is morphologically similar to several species. The closest species is N. vietnamensis Kozár & Konczné Benedicty, 1999, which is similar in most characters. The main differences are:antenna length, up to 808 μm in N. andreae (949 μm long in N. vietnamensis), and tubular ducts being absent from both surfaces in N. andreae (present on both surfaces in N. vietnamensis). Their geographical distributions and host records are different, however. Newsteadia andreae also resembles Newsteadia morrisoni but differs in having (.N. morrisoni characters in parentheses): no groups of quadrilocular pores posterior to the vulva (quadrilocular pores posterior to vulva in groups); a ratio of SantIII/SantII of 3.7 (2.4); two spine-like setae on the trochanter (trochanter without spine-like setae), and each thoracic spiracle peritreme with quadrilocular pores inside (without quadrilocular pores in the peritremes). (Caballero, 2021)

• Structure: Slide-mounted adult female body oval to round, 1.9 ± 0.3 [1.6] (1.5-2.1) mm long and 1.5 ± 0.2 [1.3] (1.3-1.7) mm wide.This species has two spines on each trochanter; antennal flagellate setae with rounded apices, and three fleshy setae on the distal part of the apical segment; antennal segment II shorter than antennal segment I; five pairs of abdominal spiracles; and lacks groups of quadrilocular pores posterior to the vulva, and tubular ducts.
