Remarks
- Systematics: Subfamily DIASPIDINAE Tribe DIASPIDINI Subtribe CHIONASPIDINA (Normark, et al., 2019)
Ferris (1937) stated "In the writer's opinion, whatever division of Protodiaspis may eventually be made, the three species P. agrifoliae, P. lobata and P. lagunae, the first two of which have been used as the types of genera, are definitely congeneric with P. parvula."
- Structure: Protodiaspis secretes no distinct scale, but females are enveloped in a cottony secretion, the male pupae resembling those of Diaspis, but extremely short. No grouped circumgential glands (Cockerell, 1898j).
- Biology: McKenzie & Nelson-Rees (1962) state that Protodiaspis is probably native to the Western Hemisphere, where it occurs almost exclusively on oaks.
- General Remarks: Detailed description by Ferris (1937).
