Abstract

Armored scale insects (Hemiptera: Coccomorpha: Diaspididae) are major economic pests and are among the world's most invasive species. Here we describe a system of specimen and identification management that establishes a basis for well-vouchered molecular identification. We also present an expanded Bayesian phylogenetic analysis based on concatenated fragments of 4 genetic loci: the large ribosomal subunit (28S), elongation factor-1 alpha (EF-1α), cytochrome oxidase I and II (COI‒II), and the small ribosomal subunit (16S) of the primary endosymbiont, Uzinura diaspidicola (Bacteroidetes: Flavobacteriales). Our sample includes 1,389 individuals, representing 11 outgroup species and at least 311 described and 61 undescribed diaspidid species. The results broadly support Takagi's 2002 classification but indicate that some revisions are needed. We propose a revised classification recognizing 4 subfamilies: Ancepaspidinae Borchsenius, new rank, Furcaspidinae Balachowsky, new rank, Diaspidinae Targioni Tozzetti, and Aspidiotinae Westwood. Within Aspidiotinae, in addition to the existing tribes Aspidiotini Westwood, Parlatoriini Leonardi, Odonaspidini Ferris, Leucaspidini Atkinson, and Smilacicolini Takagi, we recognize as tribes Gymnaspidini Balachowsky, new rank, and Aonidiini Balachowsky, new rank. Within Diaspidinae we recognize the 2 tribes Lepidosaphidini Shimer and Diaspidini Targioni Tozzetti, and within Diaspidini we recognize three subtribes: Diaspidina Targioni Tozzetti, Fioriniina Leonardi, and Chionaspidina Brues & Melander. We regard Kuwanaspidina Borchsenius as a junior synonym of Fioriniina, Thysanaspidini Takagi as a junior synonym of Leucaspidini, and Protodiaspidina Takagi and Ulucoccinae Takagi as junior synonyms of Chionaspidina. To clarify the composition of the higher taxa we describe 2 new genera for Australian species heretofore misplaced in the genus Ancepaspis Ferris: Brimblecombia Normark (Aonidiini) and Hendersonaspis Normark (Leucaspidini). We also propose many additional minor modifications to the taxonomy of Diaspididae, including the following new combinations, revived combinations, and replacement names: Aonidia edgerleyi (Mamet), new combination (from Bigymnaspis Balachowsky); Aonidomytilus espinosai Porter, revived combination (from Porterinaspis González); Aspidiotus badius (Brain), new combination (this and the next 5 Aspidiotus species all from Aonidia Targioni Tozzetti);
