Remarks

Systematics: Lindingaspis rossi comprises two well-supported lineages representing a relatively large degree of genetic variation – potentially indicating cryptic species diversity. (Shneider, et al., 2018)
Structure: Scale of the female quite flat, circular, very dark brown or black, exuviae almost central and almost pitchy black; scale of the male slightly elongate oval, dark brown, exuvia near one end; a quite thick ventral scale is formed by the female and this includes the ventral portion of the second exuvia (Ferris, 1938a). Illustration of female scale by Froggatt (1914). Colour photograph by Gill (1997) and by Wong et al. (1999).
Biology: The scales occur on the leaves (Ferris, 1938a).
Economic Importance: The published records (see Distribution) of this polyphagous species, show a disjunct distribution in Australia, Africa, Mediterranean Basin, North and South America. It has been considered a pest of Citus in New Zealand (Charles, 1998), USA, California (Gill, 1997), and in southern Africa (Schmutterer et al., 1957), of oil palm in Sierra Leone (Schmutterer et al., 1957), and Araucaria in California (Gill, 1997)
General Remarks: Description and illustration of adult female by Froggatt (1914), Laing (1929), Ferris (1938a), Balachowsky (1951, 1958b), Brimblecombe (1955), McKenzie (1950, 1956), Chou (1985, 1986), Gill (1997) and by Zamudio & Claps (2005).
