Type species: Helaspis mexicana McKenzie by monotypy and original designation . junior homonym Notes: Helaspis McKenzie 1963 is preoccupied by Helaspis Imbrie 1959, a fossil marine brachiopod genus (Brachiopoda: Strophomenata: Productida: family Productellidae) based on the type species Helaspis luma Imbrie 1959

Remarks
- Systematics: Mckenzieana appears to suggest Aspidiotus Bouche more strongly than any other aspidiotine genera. The short length of dorsal pygidial macroducts resembles certain Aspidiotus species, while the 'peg-like' plates, with little or no fimbriation, and the bilobed-shape of the third pygidial lobes, show wide divergence from Aspidiotus (McKenzie, 1963).
- General Remarks: Definition and characters by McKenzie (1963).
