Systematics: Diaspis gilloglyi appears to be related to D. fraxini, but differs in the absence of dorsal submedian groups of ducts on fifth abdominal segment, and the presence of well-developed first, second and third pygidial lobes. D. fraxini, on the other hand, possesses dorsal submedian groups of ducts on fifth abdominal segment, and the first to third pygidial lobes are greatly reduced in size (McKenzie, 1963).
Structure: Female scale is white, circular, flat, transparent, exuviae situated central or subcentral, and almost completely concealed under the epidermis of the host leaf. Male scale elongate, white, exuviae at anterior extremity and mostly concealed under leaf epidermis of host (McKenzie, 1963).
