Remarks
- Systematics: Pinnaspis frontalis is unique by the presence of the interantennal tubercle (Takagi, 1970).
- Structure: Female scale quite slender, highly convex dorsally and dark brown. Adult female body slender, with the free segments slightly lobed out laterally and with the pygidium narrow and only slightly rounded. Median lobes rather small, tightly appressed together mesally, notched twice on the lateral side. 2nd lobes well developed, either lobule much elongate, constricted basally, often with a subapical notch on each side and without basal scleroses. 3rd lobes reduced to mere marginal serrations (Takagi, 1970).
- General Remarks: Detailed description and illustration by Takagi (1970).
