  According to Zimmerman (1948), Aulacaspis rosae occurs in Hawaii, Maui, Kauai, Molokai, and Oahu. However, all specimens identified as A. rosae in the USNM and those examined by J.W. Beardsley (1975) were A. rosarum. There is a possibility that all Hawaiian records of A. rosae are misidentifications (Nakahara, 1981a). Aulacaspis rosarum is close to A. crawii, differing in having fewer rows of dorsal pores (8 rows instead of 10), in the form of the median lobes and in other characters. It is also close to A. crawii, A. mischocarpi and A. spinosa. It differs from these species in the position of the dorsal pores on abdomen, and in the form and number of gland spines (Borchsenius, 1958). Williams and Watson (1988) examined specimens of A. rosarum>/i> from the original material and also from Papua New Guinea and some South Pacific islands, and presented a description of the adult female accompanied with a figure of the whole body. They show that the prosoma is square rather than rounded in outline and the peribuccal scleroses are well developed, and also that submedian dorsal macroducts occur on the second abdominal segment.

• Structure: Female scale broadly oval or almost circular, 2.0-2.4 mm long, snow white, with dark brown larval exuviae; first larval exuvia often found on peripheral part of scale or overlying 2nd exuviae; 2nd larval exuvia in center or at edge of scale. Male scale white, with 2 longitudinal furrows, approximately .8mm long (Borchsenius, 1958). Female scale cover circular, white, with subcentral dark brown exuvia. Female body red. Male scale white, elongate, tricarinate, with terminal mid-brown exuvium. (Henderson, 2011)
• Biology: On stems of host plant
• General Remarks: Detailed description and illustration by Borchsenius (1958). A key to distinguish Aulacaspis rosae from A. rosarum is given in Henderson, 2011.
