Remarks
- Systematics: Danzig (1993: 200) synonymised Aspidiotus lenticularis marocanus with Quadraspidiotus lenticularis while Borchsenius (1966: 332) regarded it as a valid species Quadraspidiotus marocanus.
- Structure: Scale of the female quite flat, circular, gray, or slightly brown, exuviae subcentral. Scale of the male oval, pale, exuvia subcentral (Ferris, 1943a).
- Biology: Occurring on twigs of the host plant (Ferris, 1943a).
- General Remarks: Description and illustration of adult female by Ferris (1943a), Balachowsky (1950b), Brookes & Hudson (1968), Tereznikova (1986) and by Danzig (1993). Good description of the adult female given by Gómez-Menor Ortega (1959). Good description and illustration of the second instar nymph given by Brookes & Hudson (1968). Schutze et al. (2026) consider this species to have been present in Australia as non-native in the past, but is likely extirpated.
