Remarks
- Systematics: Cupidaspis beshearae can be told from C. cupressi by lacking a dorsal submarginal macroduct on the 6th abdominal segment and by the shape of the submarginal ducts on the prepygidial segments. In C. cupressi these ducts, although much smaller, are the same shape as the pygidial macroducts. In C. beshearae, they are much smaller and noticeably more slender than the pygidial macroducts. In addition, dorsal submedian microducts are present on abdominal segments 3-4 in C. beshearae but are absent in C. cupressi and the position of the anus is usually posterior to the vulva in C. beshearae but anterior to the vulva in C. cupressi (Howell & Tippins, 1977a).
- Structure: Very minute, scale cover 1.0-1.5 mm long, fairly convex, elongate, transparent white, with yellow terminal exuviae (Gill, 1997).
- General Remarks: Best description by Gill (1997).
