Remarks
- Systematics: This genus is closely related to Aspidiotus and its relatives, but differs in having only 2 pairs of well-developed lobes, while the third pair represented as short points (Williams & Watson, 1988). Aspidiella is similar to the genus Chortinaspis Ferris, 1938 and some Aspidiella species lacking perivulver pores are difficult to distinguish from i>Chortinaspis species, however, the Aspidiella species could be recognasable in having one-barred type of almost same size macroducts present on both dorsal and ventral surface of pygidium. Relationships among this genus species and the Cortinaspis species should be re-examined by molecular phylogenetic analysis. (Tanaka & Kamitani, 2021) Aspidiella currently (2022 contains 8 species, although possibly not all of them are congeneric. (Watson & Kondo, 2022a)
- Structure: Adult female body membranous at maturity; pygidium acute, with well developed median and second lobes, the second lobe not bilobed, the third lobes usually, but not always, reduced to a small projection; paraphyses entirely lacking. Dorsal and ventral macroducts one barred-type, ducts on both surfaces of
pygidium the same or almost the same size, numerous in a narrow submarginal zone. Plates well developed and irregularly bifurcate, trificate, fringed or fimbriate. Perivulver pores present or absent. Scale cover of adult female circular, flat, with exuviae central. (Tanaka & Kamitani, 2021, modified from Ferris, 1938)
- General Remarks: Definition and characters by Ferris (1938a) and by Balachowsky (1958b).
