Remarks
- Structure: Scale really white, though covered with earthly deposits (Ramakrishna Ayyar, 1930).
- General Remarks: This species was described for the first time, as Aspidiotus calophylli var. symplocos by Ramakrishna Ayyar (1930: 27), who referred to an earlier description ("B.J. xxviii, p. 1008" 1922). It is very likely that the latter is a reference to page 1008 in Green (1922a), in which Aspidiotus calophylli Green has been described, but not the subspecies symplocos.
