Remarks
- Systematics: Poliaspoides formosana is close to N. simplex from which it can be distinguished by the more numerous pygidial ducts (Takagi, 1969a). In the first instar, it has apically cleft spinous processes around the abdomen and metathorax.
- Structure: Pygidium of adult female wide, less indented on margin, circumgenital pores in 5 groups, anterior spiracles with 7-10 parastigmatic pores (Takahashi, 1930). The second-instar male is characterized by having at the posterior end of the body a pair of slender processes, which aredilated and sometimes frayed apically. (Takagi & Martin, 2010)
- Biology: Specimens of P. formosana were tightly embedded between the bamboo leaf petiole and stem, often in close proximity, and arebdifficult to find unless the leaf is peeled from the stem. (Stocks, 2014)
- General Remarks: Descriptions and illustrations by Brain (1920), Takahashi (1930) & Takagi (1969a).
