Remarks
- Systematics: Russell (1941) synonymized Asterolecanium pseudomiliaris bambusifoliae Takahashi, 1930, with Bambusaspis miliaris (Boisduval), while Wong et al. (1999) regarded the former as a separate species, Bambusaspis pseudomiliaris.
- Structure: Colour photograph by Wong et al. (1999) and by Germain et al., (2003).
- Economic Importance: This species have been recorded from many species of bamboo in the West Indies, Central and South America, Africa, Asia. The infestations on leaves and trunk makes the plants unsightly, and may reduce the quality of poles in furniture production.
- General Remarks: Description and illustration of adult female by Russell (1941), Williams & Watson (1990) and by Stumpf & Lambdin (2001, 2006). Test of female, adult female and larva described and illustrated by Russell (1941).
