Remarks

• Systematics: Subfamily FURCASPIDINAE (Normark, et al., 2019)

  The genus Furcaspis together with several other genera belong in the sub-tribe Furcaspidina (sensu Balachowsky, 1958b), which differ from other aspidiotine genera by the multisetose antennal tubercle, presence of perispiracular pores at the anterior spiracles, and the presence of glandular tubercles on venter of abdomen and thorax. Green (1926) did not indicate the characters that distinguish Neofurcaspis from Furcaspis. Lindinger (1937) considered that the former is a synonym of Furcaspis, while Ferris (1938) stressed the need for a study of the entire Furcaspis series in order to conclude as to the status of Neofurcaspis. Williams, Miller & Rungs (2006) critically revised the genus, included in it 28 species, and presented a phylogenetic analysis of these species. Normark, et al., 2019 determined that Furcaspis is a monophyletic genus.
