Remarks
- Systematics: Pseudaulacaspis megacauda is similar to P. poloosta, however the former has fewer spiracular disc pores (Takagi, 1970).
- Structure: Adult female body elongate-oval or fusiform, free abdominal segments rather weakly lobed laterally. Median lobes quite large. 2nd lobes much smaller than the median, yet well developed; inner lobule longer than wide, broadly rounded apically, with a pair of distinct basal scleroses; outer lobule smaller, with basal scleroses much reduced (Takagi, 1970).
- General Remarks: Detailed description and illustration by Takagi (1970).
