Gymnaspidina

Gymnaspidina is a subtribe of armored scale insects.[1] Takagi (2002) does not mention the Gymnaspidina,[2] but in 2006 Morse and Normark still placed Gymnaspis aechmeae within the Parlatoriini tribe.[3] Anderson (2010) found Gymnaspidina to be radically polyphyletic and suggested that the gymnaspids and the furcaspids might be placed in a distinct, but laterally equivalent subfamily to the Diaspidinae, rather than in the Aspidiotinae.[4]
