Remarks
- Systematics: This species was described by Scott (1952) on the basis of the material "found on undetermined tree at Yeung Kong, Kwangtung Province, China...on undersurface of leaves." Chen (1983) described under the name A. ferrisi a form collected in Hunan, China, on the leaves of an undetermined tree. However, the fiture drawn by him does not agree with the figure presented in the original description in having on the the median trullae a distrinct zygotic sclerite which is produced anteriorly beyond the bases of the trullae. (Takagi, 2014) In the body shape and the prominent median trullae, this species is similar to Aulacaspis megaloba, which occurs in China on Rubus and differs from A. ferrisi in having submedian macroducts of the second abdominal segment. (Takagi, 2014)
- Structure: Female scale 1.3mm in diameter, flat, white and transparent. Male scale linear, 1mm in length, tricarinate and white (Scott, 1952). Body of fully grown adult female robust, of the rosae type in shape; prosoma broader than long, somewhat wider than metathorax, rounded along free margin; prosomatic tubercles at most suggested by slight prominences; postsoma gradually narrowing caudad; pygidium obconical, Thbroadly variable in size and relative width. The median trullae are prominent and joined together through their thick bases with no distinct zygotic sclerite. (Takagi, 2014)
- General Remarks: Detailed description and illustration by Scott (1952).
