Remarks
- Systematics: Temnaspidiotus sinensis Ferris, 1952 is transferred here to Aspidiotus. Dr. Sadao Takagi (in personal communication, 8 January 2003, to Yair Ben-Dov) suggested that Aspidiotus kelleyi Brain and Aspidiotus sinensis (Ferris) may belong to a separate genus, for which the name Brainaspis MacGillivray, 1921, is available.
- Structure: Scale of the female white, oval, the exuvia entirely or nearly covered by secretion. Scale of the male similar to that of the female but smaller (Ferris, 1952a).
- Biology: Occurring on the leaves and stems (Ferris, 1952a).
- General Remarks: Description and illustration of adult female by Ferris (1952a) and by Chou (1985, 1986).
