Systematics: The antennae of Coronaspis coronifera strongly resemble those of Dentachionaspis auratilis (Newstead, 1920).
Structure: Female puparium white, sometimes tinged with ochreous, pellicles reddish. Strongly convex, the sides sloping up and forming a median longitudinal rounded ridge. This form is probably accentuated by the situation of the puparium on the extreme margin of the leaf, 2 mm in length. Male puparium white, distinctly tricarinate, pellicle pale yellow, 1.50 mm long. Adult female reddish, densely chitinous, with exception of penultimate segment (Green, 1905a).
Biology: Female covers are attached to the extreme margins of the leaves. Male covers grouped on under surface (Green, 1905a).
General Remarks: Best description and illustration by Green (1905a).
