Remarks

• Systematics: Odonaspis renhuaiensis is very similar to O. densipora in having posterior spiracles each associated with disc-pores, vulva located anterior to the level of the anal opening, and pygidium with 2 pairs of scleroses. It can be distinguished by the following characteristics of the adult female (character states of O. densipora in brackets): (i) posterior spiracles each associated with 2–6 disc-pores (with a dense group of small disc-pores, numbering more than 20); (ii) postvulvar sternite without ducts (postvulvar sternite with ducts present throughout); and (iii) abd. VII with a large triangular projection on each side, exceeding the projections on abd. VIII (abd. VII with a small triangular projection on each side, not exceeding the projections on abd. VIII). (Chen, Jian & Xing, 2024)
• Structure: Scale cover of adult female oval to elongate, 2.5–10 mm long, 2.5–5 mm wide; white; larval exuviae brown, situated centrally. Exposed body of live adult female yellowish brown or light yellow. Slide mounted body broadly obovate, 1.59–2.35 mm long, 1.38–1.89 mm wide, membranous except for pygidium. Gland tubercles absent. Pygidium broadly triangular in outline. Perivulvar pores absent. Intersegmental folds present along intersegmental lines of intersegments of abd. I–V. (Chen, Jian & Xing, 2024)
