HardyHe2011: pp.4-6 ( Adult (F) ) [Key to species of Poliaspis (excluding P. intermedia, and P. casuarinicola)]

Systematics: The one or two submedial ducts on abdominal segment 6, in addition to the absence of setae between the median lobes (also absent in P. callitris, and P. nitens) can be used to distinguish P. araucariae from other species of Poliaspis. (Hardy & Henderson, 2011)
Structure: Slide-mounted adult female body outline fusiform-pyriform, thoracic and abdominal lobes produced. Pygidium with 2 pairs of lobes; median lobes divergent, connected medially by narrow sclerotic strap, lobes with rounded apex; margin between lobes weakly incised; second lobe bi-lobed, each lobule with basal sclerosis, more strongly developed on medial lobule. (Hardy & Henderson, 2011)
