Scale - family Coccidae

Can anyone help me with identification?

The first three picures are probably some kind of Wax Scale (Ceroplates) belonging to the Coccidae family. They were all found in Hoedspruit and on the same bushes but the last is more like a snail shell and I really do not have a clue as to their classification. Any help would be appreciated.
