Pallulaspis Ferris, 1937 (Diaspididae)

Pallulaspis Ferris 1937: SI-82. Type species: Pallulaspis ephedrae Ferris by monotypy and original designation . accepted valid name

Systematics: Subfamily DIASPIDINAE Tribe LEPIDOSAPHIDINI (Normark, et al., 2019) In certain respects the type of this genus is similar to the species of Velataspis, but the unpaired marginal ducts of the pygidium, combined with the absence of perivulvar pores and the character of the scale, indicate the desirability of generic separation (Ferris, 1937).
Structure: Diaspididae with "two-barred" ducts. Body elongate, fusiform. Derm membranous, except for pygidium. Median lobes distinctly non-zygotic, with a pair of gland spines between; 2nd lobes well developed, bilobed; third lobes slightly developed. Marginal, pygidial ducts present, large, but single. Dorsal ducts scattered, present to the 7th and perhaps even the 8th segment, but no duct between the median lobes. Prepygidial abdominal segments not lobed laterally and without lateral spurs or lobules. Perivulvar pores lacking. Anus near the anterior margin of the pygidium. Gland spines of the pygidium all very small, apparently lacking on the prepygidial segments. Scale of female elongate, the 2nd exuviae relatively large, but shed in the normal manner by the rupturing and pushing back of the ventral derm, not at all enclosing the adult female. Scale of male similar to that of female in form and in texture (Ferris, 1937).
General Remarks: Detailed description by Ferris (1937).
