Remarks
- Systematics: Subfamily DIASPIDINAE Tribe DIASPIDINI Subtribe FIORINIINA (Normark, et al., 2019)
This genus belongs to the subtribe Fioriniina. Like Fiorinia Targioni-Tozzetti, it is pupillarial, the adult female being retained within the heavily sclerotized exuvial cast of the second instar and much simplified in external features. (Takagi, 2003)
It is characterized in the adult female by the following characters: the median trullae
are not zygotic; the lateral trullae are completely obsolete; the marginal macroducts are
much reduced in size; there are many small gland tubercles along the prepygidial margin;
and there are no gland spines on the pygidial margin. The median trullae are parallel, rounded, and serrate. The pygidium is delimited on the dorsal surface by the intersegmental furrow between abd IV and V, and on the margin by the notch between these segments. In the adult and second-instar female stages, this genus is very similar to Kulatinganaspis from which, it differs remarkably in the first instar. (Takagi, 2003)
