Genus PLATENCYRTUS Ferriere 



Platencyrtus Ferriere, 1955. Soc. Ent. de France, Bui. 60 (1-2): 11-12. 



Type-species: Plateiicyrtua parkeri Ferriere. Orig. desig. 

 Platencyrtus Erdos and Novicky, 1955. Beitr. zur Ent. 5 (1-2): 197. 



Type-species: Platencyrtun esiirieus Erdos and Novicky. Orig. desig.

 identical species. Ferriere's publication date preceeds that of Erdos and Novicky and therefore 

 has priority. This monotypic genus parasitizes mealybugs on Plimgniites.
