Remarks

• Systematics: Borchsenius (1966) lists this species as incertae sedis. Fernald (1903b) lists it as a junior synonym of Aspidiotus hederae as does Lindinger (1912b), but in his 1932f paper he lists it as a junior synonym of Aspidiotus cyanophylli and by 1949 he says its a junior synonym of Aspidiotus obliquus.
