Takagi, S., Pong, T.Y., & Khoo, S.G. 1988 Does Africaspis (Homoptera: Coccoidea: Diaspididae) occur in Asia?. Insecta Matsumurana (New Series) 39: 1-34.
Notes: Cameronaspis, n.g., and C. linderae (occurring on Lindera), C. pustulifera (on "Henslowia" and Euodia) and C. adinandrae (on Adinandra), n. spp., are described from the Cameron Highlands, Peninsular Malaysia. C. adinandrae is also recorded from Nepal (collected near Kathmandu on Eurya). Africaspis orchidarum, originally described from the Philippines, is transferred to Cameronaspis. The second instar males of the three Malayan species of Cameronaspis and six species of Africaspis are studied. Based mainly on this instar, Cameronaspis belongs to the chionaspidinae stock and Africaspis to the fioriniine. The resemblance between the two genera in the adult female is attributed to convergence. The occurrence of Africaspis in Asia and Australia is dubious. Remarkable polymorphism occurs in the second instar male in both genera.
