Cooleyaspis MacGillivray, 1921 (Diaspididae)

Cooleyaspis MacGillivray 1921: 308. Type species: Chionaspis praelonga Newstead by monotypy and original designation . accepted valid name

Systematics: Subfamily DIASPIDINAE Tribe DIASPIDINI Subtribe FIORINIINA (Normark, et al., 2019) Cooleyaspis differs from Rolaspis Hall and Voraspis Hall in the median lobes forming a deep notch in the pygidium. The single supplementary group of perivulvar pores is distinctive but other supplementary groups are present in some species of Rolaspis and Voraspis. Although the marginal pygidial ducts are larger than the dorsal ducts this is also true of certain species of Rolaspis and it may be that some species now placed in Rolaspis could be transferred to Cooleyaspis (Borchsenius & Williams, 1963).
Structure: Cooleyaspis is distinct due to its deeply notched median lobes, yoked at the base, and the second lobes well developed, the lobules set wide apart with the inner lobules wider and longer than the median lobes. The dorsal ducts form a submedian row on segment 6 and transverse rows on the anterior segments. Perivulvar pores present in three groups with a transverse median supplementary group of 7-12 pores (Borchsenius & Williams, 1963).
