Remarks

• Systematics: Russell (1941) briefly described the male of A. ungulatum Russell. From the few details she provides, it would appear to be very similar to other Asterolecanid species (10-segmented antennae; postocular ridge touching dorsal simple eyes; ventral head setae in broad group above ventral simple eyes; probably no ocelli; two oblique postoccipital ridges; scutellum with a foramen; absence of hamulohalteres; claws long and thin, without a denticle; absence of tibial spurs; no dorsal abdominal setae; single pairs of pleural setae per abdominal segment; long pleural setae on segment VIII, and long penial sheath, broadly attached to abdominal segment VIII).
