Keys

• TanakaAm2007: pp.32 ( Adult (F) ) [Key to adult female Ortheziola Šulc, modified after Kozár (2004)]

Remarks

• Systematics: Ortheziola mizushimai resembles the Korean species of O. peregovitsi but differs in the shape of the wax plates and structure of the disc pores. Disc pores have 5 or 6 loculi around each thoracid spiracle; fewer clavate setae on both of median dorsal surface and ventral median area, and wax plate 7 is clearly separated into several subplates posteriorly (O. peregovitsi has disc pores with only 4 loculi around each spiracle and the separation of wax plate 7 into subplates is indistinct).
• General Remarks: Detailed description and illustration in Tanaka & Amano (2007).
