Systematics: Unaspis aei is close to U. euonymi, from which it is distinguished by the narrower median lobes and by having median dorsal ducts on the 2nd-5th abdominal segments (Takagi, 1970).
Structure: Female scale brown, broadened posteriorly, convex dorsally, with a slight median ridge. Adult female body robust, free abdominal segments moderately lobed laterally and with the pygidium rounded along the margin. Median lobes comparatively small, subparallel or slightly divergent, longer than wide, rounded apically, separated from each other by little less than the width of one of them. 2nd and 3rd lobes each with both lobules rather similar to the median lobes and with the outer lobule a little shorter than the inner. 4th and 5th lobes reduced to marginal serrations (Takagi, 1970).
