Chionaspidina
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. Geographical sampling and analysis indicated a number of unnamed species in the genus ''Chionaspis'' and by inference in the Chionaspidina.

Aulacaspis Yasumatsui
''Aulacaspis yasumatsui'', or cycad aulacaspis scale (CAS), is a scale insect species in the genus '' Aulacaspis'' that feeds on cycad species such as ''Cycas revoluta''Aulacaspis yasumatsui (Hemiptera: Sternorrhyncha: Diaspididae), a Scale Insect Pest of Cycads Recently Introduced into Florida. Forrest W. Howard, Avas Hamon, Michael Mclaughlin, Thomas Weissling and Si-lin Yang, The Florida Entomologist, March 1999, Vol. 82, No. 1, pages 14–27article or '' Dioon purpusii'' (Purpus' cycad). Other common names include the cycad scale, the sago palm scale, and the Asian cycad scale. This is a serious pest of cycads which can kill its host plant. Description The adult female cycad aulacaspis scale has a flattened, circular or pear-shaped cover, often distorted in shape by the close proximity of leaf veins or other scale insects. The cover is white, and may be translucent enough to see the orange coloured insect with its orange eggs beneath. White or pale yellow shed skins are seen ...
