Systematics: Sishanaspis templorum differs from S. quercicola in the absence of submarginal glandular tubercules on the ventral side of the thoracic segments (there are 4 groups in S. quercicola), the anal opening is further forward than the width of the median lobe, the presence of 3 marginal macropores on the pygidium (absent in S. quercicola), dorsal micropores few in number (more in S. quercicola) and the circumgenital glands are absent (Balachowksy, 1957).
Structure: Female scale circular, strongly curvate, almost entirely made up of larval exuviae. Male scale white, with larval exuviae pale yellow. Adult female subcircular, nearly as long as wide. Pygidium large, with one pair of lobes which are generally subquadrangular, but sometimes conical or irregular (Balachowsky, 1957).
General Remarks: Detailed description and illustration by Balachowsky (1957).
