Diaspis manzanitae (Whitney, 1913) (Diaspididae: Diaspis)Nomenclatural History
- Aulacaspis manzanitae Whitney 1913: 50-52. Type data: UNITED STATES: California, Bowman, by H.H. Bowman; Colfax by E.O. Essig; Dutch Flat, Towle, Blue Canon, by E.K Carnes & E.J. Branningan & B.B. Whitney, all on Manzanita sp.. Syntypes, female, Type depository: Washington: United States National Entomological Collection, U.S. National Museum of Natural History, District of Columbia, USA; accepted valid name Notes: In the original description of Diaspis manzanitae, Whitney does not give type collection dates, nor does he specifically refer to types. However, based on the information given, two slides in the USNM have been determined to be syntypic. Because the publication data were scare, we believe it is possible that material now held in UCDC and CDAE could be syntypic as well. Illustr.

Remarks
- Systematics: Diaspis manzanitae is close to D. parasiti, differing from it in possessing dorsal submedian groups of macroducts from the pygidium to metathorax. A few dorsal microducts are in this same area in D. parasiti. Furthermore, D. manzanitae is apparently restricted to "manzanita" whereas D. parasiti is found only on mistletoe (McKenzie, 1956).
- Structure: Female scale light brown, moderately convex, circular, with subcentral exuviae (McKenzie, 1956).
- Biology: Diaspis manzanitae seems to only occur at altitudes of over 1,500 feet (Ferris, 1937).
- General Remarks: Descriptions and illustrations by Whitney (1913) and Ferris (1937).
