Remarks
- Systematics: Pseudaulacaspis uncinati resembles P. fagraeae, but differs in the character of the median lobes, in the presence of a 3rd lobe and in the number of circumgenital pores (Rutherford, 1915). Rutherford may have referred the species to Aulacaspis as understood in his time. His description of this species does not afford any positive support for the placement in Aulacaspis as currently understood. (Takagi, 2015)
- Structure: Scale of female not much longer than broad; secretion white; exuviae reddish-brown, situated at one side (Rutherford, 1915).
- General Remarks: Best description and illustration by Rutherford (1915).
