Remarks
- Systematics: Unaspis turpiniae differs from U. acuminata in having shorter pygidial glands, a short gland spine present between the 2nd and 3rd lobes, chitinized cephalothorax in older females and apically broadly rounded median lobes (Takahashi, 19). U. turpiniae can bes distinguished by the use of the following characters: ‘(1) Glands on the pygidium shorter; (2) Cephalothorax chitinized in the old females (Takagi, 2023)
- Structure: Adult female body elongate, 1.96 mm long and 0.35 mm wide. Cephalothorax elongate, thickly sclerotized at maturity, gradually narrowing anteriorly. Median lobes set close, separated by a space narrower than one of them, parallel, slightly sunken into apex of pygidium, rounded apically. 2nd and 3rd lobes well developed, bilobulate, each lobule nearly as large as median lobe, slightly dilated, flattened apically (Takagi, 1961).
- General Remarks: Detailed description and illustration by Takagi (1961).
