Remarks
- Systematics: Diaspididae probably referable to the tribe Odonaspidini having a bivalve type of exuviae in at least the 2nd exuviae; with the ducts of the pygidial region numerous both dorsally and ventrally and not arranged in definite rows or in poriferous furrows (Ferris, 1938a). Balachowsky (1953g) considered Rugaspidiotus MacGillivray 1921 and Adiscodiaspis Marchal 1909 to be synonyms and listed Rugaspidiotus as the senior name. Danzig (1993) states that the two genera are distinct and points out that were they not, Adiscodiapis would be the seniority.
- Biology: Rugaspidiotus is a genus of the southwestern United States and northwestern Mexico. The known species are very retiring forms, occurring in cracks in the bark of their host, or even under the scales of other species (Ferris, 1938a).
- General Remarks: Best description by Gómez-Menor Ortega (1957).
