Remarks
- Systematics: Nikkoaspis berincangensis may be close to N. simaoensis, but disagrees with the description of the latter mainly in having only 2 pairs of lobes, in lacking plates on the 4th abdominal segment and in the elongate marginal gland spines (Takagi, 1999a).
- Structure: Female scale white, broadly expanded posteriorly. Male scales felt-like in texture, tricarinate on dorsal surface. Adult female body up to 1.3 mm long, elongate pyriform, broadest across base of abdomen; pygidium broadly roundish along margin (Takagi, 1999a).
- Biology: This species was collected at an altitude of 1900m (Takagi, 1999a).
- General Remarks: Detailed description and illustration by Takagi (1999a).
