Rugaspidiotina is an obsolete subtribe of armored scale insects. It was established by Balachowsky in 1949 to accept those Diaspidinae which had ''rugaspidiotine'' characteristics as exemplified by genus ''Rugaspidiotus'' MacGillivray, species ''Rugaspidiotus arizonicus'' (Cockerell, 1900), and was moved from the Odonaspidini to the Diaspidini by Borchsenius. It was raised to tribe status as Rugaspidiotini. However, close examination of species assigned to the Rugaspidiotini showed that the rugaspidiotine characteristics convergently evolved in different groups of diaspidids. Rugaspidiotini and Rugaspidiotina are now regarded as obsolete groupings. ==Former genera== Most of the former members of the tribe or subtribe are currently "tribally unplaced".〔 *''Adiscodiaspis'' ::''Adiscodiaspis ericicola'' (Marchal, 1909), tribally unplaced ::''Adiscodiaspis tamaricicola'' now ''Prodiaspis tamaricicola'' (Malenotti, 1916),〔 tribally unplaced *''Crassaspis'' in the Diaspidini *''Discodiaspis'' Koroneos, 1934, in the Diaspidini *''Nimbaspis'' *''Osiraspis'' *''Poliaspoides'' now in the Kuwanaspidina *''Pygalataspis'' *''Ramachandraspis'' *''Rugaspidiotinus'' *''Rugaspidiotus'' *''Rugpapuaspis'' 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rugaspidiotina」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
