Remarks
- Structure: Female scale subcircular, flat, brownish; first larval skin dark brown at centre; second larval skin reddish brown; about 2.8-3 mm. Male scale resembles that of female, but much smaller (Sasaki, 1935, translated by R. Takahashi, in Mamet, 1958a).
- General Remarks: Description of adult female by Sasaki (1935, translated by R. Takahashi, in Mamet, 1958a). Mamet (1958a) noted that no specimens of this species were available for his revision, but he suggested that it is closely related to Selenaspidus kamerunicus.
