Systematics: Ferris (1941d) considered the proper placement of this species problematic. It generally seemed to belong to Vinculaspis, but it had a possible relationship to Lapazia.
Structure: Female scale ovoid, composed of 2nd exuviae which is covered by a very thin film of wax; the central portion of the dorsum of the 2nd exuviae is pitch black, the remainder yellowish. Male scale white, firm, elongate, with the black exuviae of the 1st stage at one end. Adult female entirely membranous except for the sclerotized dorsum of the pygidium, roughly circular with the pygidium projecting posteriorly. Median pygidial lobes prominent, pointed, their sides more or less serrate (Ferris, 1941d).
