Remarks

• Systematics: http://zoobank.org/33040435-CC00-4B65-A5F8-687A02E4BCA8 (Schneider, et al., 2020) The small ribosomal subunit (16S) sequences of the primary bacterial endosymbiont, Uzinura diaspidicola, of C. jujuyensis has also been published: GQ424853.1. Chortinaspis jujuyensis. shares similarities with C. graminella. (Cockerell) and C. frankliniana. Ferris. The median lobes of C. jujuyensis.. are apically truncate or nearly rectangular in shape like those of C. graminella. and have rough apical edges like those of C. frankliniana.. But C. jujuyensis.. can be distinguished from both species by its narrow, smooth second lobes, in contrast to the broadly truncate and notched second lobes seen in the other two species. It differs from C. chortina. (Ferris) in that it lacks any plates anterior to the position of the third lobes. (Schneider, et al., 2020)
