Remarks
- Systematics: Unruh & Gullan (2008) regarded this species as incertae sedis. In the original description, Hempel (1923) writes that this species belongs to the same group as Icerya taunayi Hempel, which is now Laurencella taunayi (Hempel), and thus it is likely that I. insulans may also be a species of Laurencella. (Kondo, et al., 2016)
