Systematics: Of the known adult male asterolecaniids, A. petrophylae has 9-segmented rather than 10-segmented antennae (as has Asterodiaspis alba). However, male A. petrophylae appear to lack ventral head setae, have a very differently-shaped penial sheath and a much broader aedeagus. (Hodgson, 2020)
