Systematics: Lindinger (1943a) moved "casuarinae" Maskell 1893b into the genus Poliaspis, however the species Poliaspis casuarinae Lidgett 1898a already existed. Because P. casuarinae Lidgett was a newer name, Lindinger replaced it with P. casuarinicola.
Structure: Female scale snowy white, convex, elongate, narrow. Exuviae terminal, orange-red. Male scale narrow, elongate, more flat than that of female, but without sign of carination, greyish; exuviae yellow. Adult female brown, elongate (Maskell, 1893b).
