Systematics: Aulacaspis maesae can be told from A. isobeae by the median lobes being more robust, the marginal gland spines more numerous on the fourth abdominal segment and by the second and third abdominal segments having macroducts on their lateral lobes. It can be told from A. trifolium by the presence of the prepygidial lateral macroducts and by the absence of a dorsal boss between the 5th and 6th abdominal segments. It can be told from A. discorum by having submedian and submarginal macroducts on the 2nd abdominal segment and by lacking pygidial bosses (Takagi, 1970).
