Gymnaspidina

Gymnaspidina
Scientific classification
Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Arthropoda
Class: Insecta
Order: Hemiptera
Suborder: Sternorrhyncha
Superfamily: Coccoidea
Family: Diaspididae
Subfamily: Aspidiotinae
Tribe: Parlatoriini
Subtribe: 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]
