Asterolecanium Proboscidis
''Asterolecanium'' is a genus of Asterolecaniidae, pit scale insects. ''Asterolecanium'' is distributed worldwide: species have been found in each of the six biogeographic realms, and nearly all of their respective subregions. Many species of ''Asterolecanium'' are destructive to crops and other plants of economic importance such as bamboo and oak, and are therefore considered Pest (organism), pests. ''Asterolecanium'' species have been found on at least 37 plant families, most prominently Gramineae (grasses), Palmae (palm trees), and Fagaceae (beech trees). Some species prefer a single host, while others feed on multiple host species. Some feed only on a single part of a plant, such as leaves or stems, while others infest the whole plant. Some create pits in their hosts, depending on the susceptibility of the host plant to damage.

Asterolecaniidae
Asterolecaniidae is a family of scale insects commonly known as pit scales or asterolecaniids. They typically cause a depression in the host plant's tissues and often cause distortion of the shoots. They are found on a range of hosts but are especially common on oaks, bamboos and a number of ornamental plants. Members of this family occur in most regions of the world but are most abundant in the northern hemisphere.UDSA Agricultural Research Service There are about 25 and 243 recorded .
