Remarks
- Systematics: Ferris (1938a) assigned this genus to the Aspidiotinae, while pointing out differences in features from typical aspidiotine genera. Borchsenius (1965, 1966) placed it in a separate tribe Comstockiellini of the Aspidiotinae. Here it is regarded as the only genus in the Comstockiellinae. Brown & McKenzie, 1962) listed the distinguishing features of this monotypic genus: female pygidium without lobes and plates; adult female with spiracular pores; tubular ducts neither of the one-barred (aspidiotine) nor two-barred (diaspidine) type; first instar crawler with a six-segmented antennae.
Normark, et al., 2019 concluded that Comstockiella was not a true diaspidid and they regarded this genus as a non-pupillarial member of Halimococcidae.
- General Remarks: Definition and characters by Ferris (1938a), Borchsenius (1965) and by Brown & McKenzie (1962).
