Remarks
- Systematics: Nipponaclerda are classified within the subfamily Aclerdinae Cockerell (Hodgson and Millar 2002), with Aclerda Signoret and Lecanaclerda Hodgson & Millar. Members of this genus are similar to species of Aclerda but can be distinguished in the adult female stage by the poor development of anal ring setae, which are few in number, shorter than the anal plate, and never extend beyond the body apex. In adult females of Aclerda, these setae are numerous, long, and usually protrude beyond the posterior body margin; however, these setae fail to extend beyond the margin in A. pasquieri Balachowsky, A. sinaloaensis McConnell, and A. subterranea Signoret. Additionally, dorsal conical pores can be found in species of Aclerda but are absent
from Nipponaclerda. There are no discernable differences between the immature instars of these two genera but adult males of Nipponaclerda can be differentiated by the encircling marginal setae, absence of dorsal invaginated conical pores, and reduction in the number of anal ring setae. The adult male stage has only been described for N. biwakoensis. (Schneider, 2019)
