Aspidiotini is a tribe in the armored scale insect family Diaspididae. They are found worldwide. [1] [2] [3] [4]
These 88 genera belong to the tribe Aspidiotini: [3] [4]
Aspidiotus is a genus of armoured scales in the family Diaspididae. There are more than 100 described species in Aspidiotus.
Aspidiotinae is a large subfamily of armored scale insects, with approximately 169 genera.
Odonaspidini is a tribe in the armored scale insect family Diaspididae.
Parlatoriini is a tribe in the armored scale insect family Diaspididae. Takagi (2002) indicated that the Parlatoriini appear to be phylogenetically related to the Smilacicola and the Odonaspidini. Takagi went on to say about the tropical east Asian Parlatoriini that, The current classification of their genera may be largely tentative because the adult females are simple-featured and much modified owing to the pupillarial mode of life, and also because the second instar nymphs are generally similar among parlatoriines, whether the adult females are pupillarial or not. Andersen found that separating out pupillarial forms into a separate subtribe, Gymnaspidina, was counterproductive, as being non-dispositive.
Aonidiini is a tribe of armored scale insects in the family Diaspididae.
Diaspidini is a tribe in the armored scale insect family Diaspididae. The insects are highly invasive, and are significant economic pests found worldwide.
Lepidosaphidini is a tribe of armored scale insects.
Parlatoreopsidina is a subtribe of armored scale insects.
Chionaspidina is a subtribe of armored scale insects established by Borchenius. But unlike many of the subtribes recognized by Borchenius, this one was found to be morphologically valid by Takagi. Similarly, in molecular analysis, Andersen et al. found a clade roughly corresponding to the subtribe Chionaspidina.
Diaspidina is a subtribe of armored scale insects. It occurs mostly in the Americas and Africa, with a few species in tropical Asia. In the Americas Pseudoparlatoria is the largest genus, with Diaspis second; in Africa Diaspis is the largest genus. The grouping identified by Balachowsky in 1954 as the subtribe Diaspidina, are now the tribe Diaspidini.
Fioriniina is a subtribe of armored scale insects in the family Diaspididae. They are found almost exclusively in the Old World.
Rugaspidiotina is an obsolete subtribe of armored scale insects. It was established by Balachowsky in 1949 to accept those Diaspidinae which had rugaspidiotine characteristics as exemplified by genus Rugaspidiotus MacGillivray, species Rugaspidiotus arizonicus, and was moved from the Odonaspidini to the Diaspidini by Borchsenius. It was raised to tribe status as Rugaspidiotini. However, close examination of species assigned to the Rugaspidiotini showed that the rugaspidiotine characteristics convergently evolved in different groups of diaspidids. Rugaspidiotini and Rugaspidiotina are now regarded as obsolete groupings.
Chionaspis is a genus of scale insect. In 2011 geographical sampling and analysis indicated a number of unnamed species in the genus Chionaspis.
Lepidosaphes is a genus of armored scale insects in the family Diaspididae. There are at least 150 described species in Lepidosaphes, found worldwide.
Hemiberlesia is a genus of armoured scales in the family Diaspididae. There are more than 50 described species in Hemiberlesia.
Diaspidiotus is a genus of armoured scales in the family Diaspididae. There are more than 80 described species in Diaspidiotus, found worldwide.
Melanaspis is a genus of armoured scales in the family Diaspididae. There are more than 60 described species in Melanaspis.
Eriococcus is the type genus of scale insects in the family Eriococcidae, erected by Targioni-Tozzetti in 1868. Species records have a world-wide distribution, but this genus name is known to be polyphyletic, so species placement is subject to change.
Clavaspis is a genus of armoured scales in the family Diaspididae. There are more than 20 described species in Clavaspis.
