Systematics: Subfamily DIASPIDINAE Tribe DIASPIDINI Subtribe CHIONASPIDINA (Normark, et al., 2019) Lindinger considered the genus Crypthemichionaspis to be a junior synonym of Anamefiorinia. Ferris (1936a) considered it a synonym of Tullifiorinia, but later (1941a) left its validity uncertain pending further investigation. Borchsenius (1966) treated the genus as valid, Normark, et al. (2019) determined that it was a junior synonym of Trullifiorinia. Trullifiorinia is sister to the genus Pinnaspis, with which it shares appressed or fused L1 subtended by a median sclerosis. Indeed if one keys out a member of Trullifiorinia and ignores the fact that it is pupillarial, it will key out as Pinnaspis. (Normark, et al, 2019)
