Furcaspidina

Furcaspidina is a subtribe of armored scale insects, traditionally regarded as part of the Aspidiotini.[1] While the subtribe Furcaspidina was not mentioned in Takagi's 2002 study, the Aspidiotini were not deemed as problematical as the Diaspidini and Lepidosaphidini.[4] In 2006, Williams reduced the Furcaspidina to a single genus, with about twenty-eight species.[5] Andersen in 2009 suggested that the Furcaspidina belonged in an expanded subfamily of Diaspidinae;[2] however, additional analysis suggests that the furcaspids are better placed in a distinct, but laterally equivalent subfamily to the Diaspidinae, possibly together with the gymnaspids which Borchsenius placed in the Aspidiotinae subfamily.[3]
