Remarks

Systematics: Aspidiotus hedericola has similarities with the closely related A. nerii Bouché, 1833 (yellow palm scale), but the macrocanals in A. hedericola are much longer (Gill 1997).
Structure: Scale of the female flat, white, circular, exuvia central, and yellowish. Scale of the male slightly elongate, exuvium toward one end (Ferris, 1946). Slide-mounted adult female broadly pyriform, membranous except for parts of pygidium. Pygidium with 3 pairs of well-developed lobes; median lobes (L1) notched subapically on either side; second lobes (L2) slightly smaller than median lobes; third lobes (L3) similar size to, or slightly smaller than L2; L2 and L3 each strongly notched on outer margin.(Moghaddam, 2020)
Biology: Occurring on the leaves (Ferris, 1946). The scale insects were present on both the upper side of the leaf as the underside, but also on the petiole. Not much is known about the biology of the species and phenology or otherwise how it reproduces (Schmutterer & Hoffmann 2016).
General Remarks: Description and illustration of adult female by Ferris (1946) and by Balachowsky (1948b).
