Adult females of N. biwakoensis are similar in appearance to N. turanica but the two can be easily distinguished by the pattern of sclerotization and by the types of setae located on the anal plate and posterior margin. The posterior end is heavily sclerotized in N. turanica, whereas in N. biwakoensis, moderate sclerotization is more evenly distributed along the marginal rim, becoming more heavily sclerotized in mature females. N. biwakoensis possesses some tuberculate setae on the anal plate and bears only tuberculate or spine-like setae on the posterior body margin. In contrast, only flagellate setae are present on the anal plates of N. turanica and several flagellate setae fall on the posterior body margin. (Schneider, 2019)
- Structure: See color photograph in Kawai (1980, Fig. 5.3) and Schneider, et al. (2022). Adult female elongate oval, initially pale pink or yellowish but darkening to brown with maturity, particularly at margins. Both ends of body well rounded, often forming a curved or misshapen oval. Lateral margins usually with shallow constrictions opposite the spiracles. Body surrounded by a ring of white powdery wax. (Schneider, et al., 2022)
- Biology: Nipponaclerda biwakoensis settle under the leaf sheaths of Phragmites stems and are found in reed wetlands. The scales overwinter as nymphs and adults, and the first generation nymphs are observed infesting new shoots in May in China, but were observed as early as March in Louisiana. (Knight, et al., 2018)
