Remarks

• Systematics: Luzulaspis filizae Kaydan can be distinguished from other Luzulaspis species by the combination of the following characters; (i) setae on inner edge of tibia subequal to or shorter than tibia width; (ii) marginal setae on head and anal lobes longer than those on lateral margin, up to 25 μm long; (iii) antennae longer than 400 μm; (iv) marginal setae between anterior and posterior spiracular setae numbering 29–39; (v) up to 52 pores in each spiracular pore band and (vi) spiracular setae at least two times longer than other marginal setae. Luzulaspis filizae is closest to L. caracis in having marginal setae on head and anal lobes longer than those on lateral margin, setae on inner edge of tibia subequal to or shorter than tibia width, but differs from L. cariacis in having: (i) marginal setae between anterior and posterior spiracular setae numbering 29–39; 42–52 pores in spiracular pore band (16–21 marginal setae; 18–22 pores in L. caricis) and spiracular setae longer than other marginal setae in length (almost the same size in L. caricis). Luzulaspis filizae is also close to L. rajae but differs from this species in having: (i) two apical marginal setae on head and apical setae of anal lobes slightly thicker than other marginal setae, but never larger than twice as wide at base as other marginal setae (thicker in L. rajae) and (ii) interantennal setae longer than 75 μm (shorter in L. rajae).
• Structure: Adult females oval, yellowish-pink, partly enclosed in a white, waxy, sub-spherical egg-sac. First-instar nymph (crawler) body yellowish, elongate oval and flattened. Legs and antennae well developed.(Çalışkan et al., 2015)
• General Remarks: Detailed descriptions, photographs and illustrations of adult female and first instar nymph in Çalışkan et al., 2015.
