Hexandaspis Takagi, 2003 (Diaspididae)

Hexandaspis Takagi 2003: 94-95. by original designation . accepted valid name

Systematics: Subfamily DIASPIDINAE Tribe LEPIDOSAPHIDINI (Normark, et al., 2019) The adult female is diagnosed above all in having three pairs of extraordinarily developed trullae. The median trullae are quite large and elaborately serrate along their entire margin, and are asymmetrically conical, with the outer margin longer than the inner margin. The second and third thullae are also enlarged, less pronounced than the median trullae, but are very broad and serrate. (Takagi, 2003)
Structure: The genus is somewhat similar to Andaspis MacGillivray in the shape of the median trullae, but is peculiar in the enlarged trullae and especially in the broad unilobed second and third truulae. (Takagi, 2003)
Biology: Hexandaspis apparently represents a distinct type adapted to the burrowing mode of life. (Takagi, 2003)
