Remarks
- Systematics: Hodgson & Peronei (2012) determined that the 3 species, Ceroplastes personatus, C. uapacae and C. vinsonioides represent a single rather variable species. The only possibly significant differences appear to be the number of preopercular pores. However, they are of the opinion that this variation could be explained by differences in the age of the adults, with (for instance) the extension of the caudal process with age changing the shape of the test.
- General Remarks: Description and illustration of the adult female given by De Lotto (1967b) and by Hodgson (1969).
