Remarks

• Systematics: Based on information presented by Pellizzari and Porcelli, 2017, and after considering the detailed diagnosis of the genus Aspidiotus by Ferris(1941), Cryptophyllaspis bornmuelleri was transferred back into the genus Aspidiotus.
• Structure: Only one male is present in each male gall, whereas two individuals are most frequently present in each female gall. Female scale white, flat, elongate; exuviae subcentral. Male scale linear, white, 1.1 mm long, 0.3 mm wide (Lindinger, 1911a). Aspidiotus bornmuelleri galls are present on both the upper and lower leaf surfaces, with the gall opening in the opposite surface. Fully-developed galls are sub-conical, with a tapering apex, about 3 mm long; the gall opening is circular-elliptical and has a diameter of about 1.5 mm. The gall is green but the gall apex and the leaf tissue around the gall opening turn yellow and then dark brown in fully developed galls. No shape difference was observed among galls induced by females or by males. (Pellizzari & Porcelli, 2017)
• Biology: Causing leaf galls on Globularia salicina (Lindinger, 1911a; Rubsaamen, 1902). The females are ovoviviparous. (Pellizzari & Porcelli, 2017)
• General Remarks: Description and illustration of adult female by Lindinger (1911a). Detailed redescription and illustrations in Pellizzari & Porcelli, 2017.
