Systematics: The general features of Poliaspis incisa are similar to P. media. However, P. media has two setae on each antenna, has a dednse group of small spinous processes medially on the ventral surfact posteriorly to the mouth-parts, and possesses dorsal macroducts on the second to sixth abdominal segments. In P.incisa the antennae are unisetose, and there are no spinous processes medially on the ventral surface and no dorsal macroducts on the second abdominal segment. (Takagi & DeFaveri, 2011)
Biology: Female and male scales occurring on the upper surface of leaves. Female test elongate oyster-shell shaped, white; exuvial casts brownish. Male test non-carinate, with first-instar exuvial cast brownish. (Takagi & DeFaveri, 2011)
