Remarks
- Systematics: Ferris (1941e: 46) regarded this species as "indeterminate, but not Aspidiotus". Borchsenius (1966) listed this species among the species incertae sedis, whereas Leonardi (1900: 305), regarded Aspidiotus niger Signoret, 1869c, a synonym of Diaspidiotus distinctus Leonardi, 1900. The original description of Aspidiotus niger Signoret definitely validated the species, and here it is retained in Aspidiotus.
- Structure: Female scale circular, brownish, with a yellow central point; male scale elongate (Signoret, 1869c: 130).
