Remarks
- Systematics: Subfamily ASPIDIOTINAE Tribe AONIDIINI (Normark, et al., 2019)
Normark, et al., 2019 determined that Mimeraspis is not a monophyletic genus.
The genus Mimeraspis resembles Neomorgania MacGillivray and Pseudotargionia Cockerell in having a thoracic constriction, prominent median lobes, a small anal opening close to the lobes, perispiracular disc pores associated with the anterior spiracles and dorsal reticulated chitinization on the pygidium. It differs from Neomorgania in the shape of ducts, shape of duct orifices. The contiguous median lobes distinguish Mimeraspis from Pseudotargionia (Brimblecombe, 1957).
