Remarks
- Systematics: Borchsenius (1966: 359) regarded Aonidiella maurellae Laing, 1929 as synonym of Crenulaspidiotus portoricensis (Lindinger), but Miller & Davidson (1981: 564) regarded the former a distinct species.
- Structure: Female scale subcircular, rather highly convex, concentrically ridged, dull black, obscured marginally by flecks of greyish-white deposit from the bark of the plant; ventral scale entire, strong, the inner side with a broad reddish-brown border and a whitish centre; exuviae paler than scale itself, subcentral; diameter 1.4 mm (Laing, 1929a).
- General Remarks: Description and illustration of adult female by Laing (1929a) and by Miller & Davidson (1981).
