Remarks

• Systematics: This species is apparently similar to Myrtaspis syzygii, from which it may be distinguished by the median lobes set close together and by having well-developed interantennal swellings (which are connected together to form a broad prominence) (Takagi, 1999). It also seems to be particularly closely related to Myrtaspis longiloba and M. pinosukensis. (Takagi, 2020)
• Structure: Female scale elongate, white. Male scales tricarinated. Adult female body fusiform, 1.0-1.16 mm long, thorax not swollen (Tang, 1986).
