Remarks

• Systematics: Slide-mounted adult female with: enlarged setae slender, sides concave basally, apices round, marginal setae slightly longer than other setae on dorsum, other setae scattered over dorsum (Borchsenius, 1949).
• Structure: Adult female is egg-shaped. Ovisac is grayish, compact, entirely enclosing the body (Borchsenius, 1949).
• General Remarks: Most detailed description and illustration by Borchsenius (1949). This species is treated by Tang & Hao (1995), but since the publication is in Chinese, we are unable to determine if the species actually occurs in China.
