Systematics: Goeth (1884) in his brief description of Chionaspis rosae states that the female was white, larvae yellow and that the species was at least somewhat similar to Chionaspis vaccinii. Lindinger (1934e) treats this species as a junior synonym of Aulacaspis rosae and in 1958 as a synonym of Chionaspis salicis. Since neither of these species match the description given by Goethe, we concur with Borchsenius (1966) who treated C. rosae as incertae sedis.
