Wei, J., Normark, R.D., & Normark, B.B. 2026 Eleven new Australian species of armored scale insects in the subtribe Fioriniina (Hemiptera: Diaspididae: Diaspidini), with a key to the Australian species of Fioriniina. Insect Systematics & Evolution 57: 21–95

Notes: Here, based on morphological study of Australian Fioriniina, the authors seek to clarify several aspects of their systematics: they reassign the Pseudaulacaspis-like Australasian species to the genus Albastaspis MacGillivray and provide a new description of the expanded genus; they more clearly define the limits of the subtribe Fioriniina in Australia, updating generic assignments to reflect current concepts; they present illustrations and descriptions of 19 species, including 7 new and 7 redescribed species of Albastaspis, 4 new species of Poliaspis, and the type species of Trichomytilus Leonardi. https://doi.org/10.1163/1876312X-Bja10084
