Remarks
- Systematics: Unaspis emei is near U. flava, but differs in the median lobes retracted, slightly parallel or very slightly divergent and by the presence of dorsal macroducts anterior to the anus (Tang, 1986).
- Structure: Female scale elongate fusiform, 2.0-3.0 mm long, brown with lighter margin and median ridge. Male scale whiter, felted, with median ridge. Adult female slender and sclerotized slightly, 1.5-1.8 mm long. Median lobes with the mesal margin not serrate. Marginal gland spines occur singly on the pygidium except 3 toward the base of the pygidium (Tang, 1986).
- General Remarks: Best description and illustration by Tang (1986).
