Remarks
- Systematics: Tang & Hao (1995) discussed the problem of the taxonomic identity of the type species. The generic name Greeniella was used in scale insect nomenclature for two zoologically different entities. Greeniella MacGillivray, 1921 (type species: Monophlebus stebbingii Stebbing) is a junior homonym of Greeniella Cockerell, and a junior synonym of Drosicha Walker in the Margarodidae. Ben-Dov & Williams (2002) examined the literature pertinent to Drosicha and Villigera and confirmed that the latter is a synonym of Drosicha.
Greeniella Cockerell, 1897q (type species: Aonidia cornigera Green) is a valid genus in the Diaspididae.
Main characteristics (adult female) of this genus are:
membranous derm; antenna 8 or 9-segmented; labium three-segmented, elongate; seven pairs of abdominal spiracles; anal opening simple, surrounded by a dense cluster of hairs and setae; with three ventral cicatrices, placed behind vulva. The adult male of this genus is characterized in the abdomen bearing variable number (two to six pairs) of well-developed fleshy tassels.
Gavrilov-Zimin, 2018, resurrected the tribe Drosichini within the family Margarodidae to place the genus Drosicha in relation to other genera that he felt belonged in a subfamily of Monophlebinae (Drosicha , Drosidhoides, Matesovia, Palaeococcus and Sishania)
