Remarks
- Systematics: Aucalaspis citri is close to A. crawii, but can be told by the presence of 5 pairs of pygidial marginal macroducts on the 2nd stage female (Tang, 1986).
- Structure: Female scale 3 mm in diameter, circular or subcircular, thin, slightly convex, white or dirty white. Larval exuviae at or near center, 1st exuviae pale yellow, 2nd light yellow. Male scale elongate, narrow, nearly parallel-sided, white, tricarinated. Larval skin is at one extremity, light yellow. Adult female 1.5 mm long, orange when young, purplish brown when mature. Adult male light orange-yellow, with thorax reddish and wings white (Chen, 1954).
- Biology: Aulacaspis citri can have 5 generations per year with a wide overlap of generations (Lin et al., 1997).
- General Remarks: Best description and illustration by Chen (1954).
