Remarks
- Systematics: The treatment of Aulacaspis vitis by Williams & Watson (1988) is a misidentification of A. calcarata (Takagi, 1999).
- Structure: Female shield thin, colourless and semi-transparent. Pygidial lobes small but prominent. Female insect pale yellow before gestation; reddish afterwards. Male with 4 knobbed digitules on feet (Green, 1896).
- Economic Importance: Aulacaspis vitis always occurs in large colonies and cause conspicuous discolored spots and blotches up on host leaves. Should the grapevine ever be cultivated in Sri Lanka, this insect might prove to be a serious pest (Green, 1899a).
- General Remarks: Detailed discussion, description and illustration by Takagi & Williams (1998).
