Remarks
- Systematics: This species is close to Andaspis leucophleae, but differs in possessing second lobes and in having the median lobes set much closer together (Williams, 1963b).
- Structure: Adult female elongate-oval, membranous. The basal scleroses may be slightly apically enlarged. Sometimes there may be three gland spines in the fourth interlobal space, and a small one in the first space (Brimblecombe, 1959b).
- Biology: Insects found singly under felty fungus on twigs (Brimblecombe, 1959b).
- Economic Importance: Das (1976) states that this species can cause serious damage to branches of mature tea plants under the moss cover.
- General Remarks: Detailed description and illustration by Brimblecombe (1959b) and Williams (1963b).
