Remarks
- Systematics: The introduction of Aspidoproctus by Newstead (1901) was in a contradictory way (see discussion by Morrison, 1928; Morrison & Morrison, 1966). The name has had long use, and was validated in Opinion 268 of the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature (1954a).
Adult females of species in this genus, rank among the largest insects among the Coccoidea; fully grown female of A. maximus is up to 33 mm long, 25 mm wide and 15 mm high (Lounsbury, 1908; Newstead, 1911a).
Main characteristics (adult female) of this genus are: heavily sclerotized dorsum; antenna 10-segmented; legs well-developed; labium short, conical, one segmented, or obscurely two-segmented; with seven pairs of abdominal spiracles; with a marsupium; with numerous ventral cicatrices.

Gavrilov-Zimin, 2018, erected the tribe Labioproctini within the family Margarodidae to place the genus Aspidioproctus in relation to other genera that he felt belonged in a subfamily of Monophlebinae (Aspidoproctus, Hemaspidoproctus, Labioproctus, Lecaniodrosicha, Misracoccue, and Walkeriana)
