Systematics: Newsteadia susannae differs from N. floccosa, the only other species of this genus from the western part of the Palaearctic Region, in having hair-like setae on most segments of the antennae, a higher number of quadrilocular pores on the venter and dorsum, and by having undivided wax plate bands on the middorsum (Kozár & Foldi, 2001).
Structure: Slide-mounted adult female oval to subcircular, 1.7 mm long, 1.2 mm wide. Antennae 6-segmented. Venter with ovisac band weakly developed; wax plates band only at margin, and on head. Coxal depressions weakly developed, mesad of each coxa, separate, with big cluster of hair-like setae and quadrilocular pores. Dorsum with wax plates only partly covering the surface. Hair-like setae present in marginal clusters near posterior edges of marginal wax plates, and near anterolateral and anteromedial edge of each dorsomedial wax plate (Kozár & Foldi, 2001).
Biology: Newsteadia susannae was collected at 700 meters above sea level (Kozár & Foldi, 2001), in forest litter (Kozár, 2004).
