AN ANNOTATED LIST OF GENERIC NAMES OF THE COCCOIDEA 37 



Chnaurococcus Ferris, 1950, Atlas of the Scale Insects of North 



America (ser.) 5 [v. 5] : 40. 

 type-species : Ripersia villosa Ehrhorn, 1899, by original designation. 



The describer suggested a possible relationship for this genus with Crypto ri- 

 persia Cockerell in the Pseudococcidae. 



Choetococcus Goux, 1936, Soc. Ent. cle France Bui. 41 : 10. 

 A lapsus for Chaetococcns Maskell. 



Chorizaspidiotus MacGillivray, 1921, The Cocciclae, p. 391. 



type-species: Aspidiotns (Targionia) guticrreziae Cockerell and Parrott, 

 1899, by original designation. [A synonym of Aspidiotns dearnessi 

 Cockerell, 1898, according to Ferris, 1937a : 33.] 



Ferris, 1937a : 33, 1938a : SII-213, 1943a : 99, placed this name as a synonym 

 of Rhizaspidiotus MacGillivray. Balachowsky, 1951 : 650, and 1958b : 288, agreed 

 with the Ferris conclusions. 



Chorizococcus McKenzie, 1960, Hilgarclia 29 : 692. 



type-species : Chorizococcus wilkeyi McKenzie, 1980, by original designation. 



The describer associated this genus closely with Spilococcus Ferris in the 

 Pseudococcidae and also suggested relationships with Atrococcus Goux and 

 Allotrionymus Takahashi. 



Chortinaspis Ferris, 1938, Microentomology 3: 46, nomen nudum; 

 1938, Atlas of the Scale Insects of North America (ser. 2) [v. 2] : 

 SII-194. 

 type-species : Aspidiotns chortinus Ferris, 1921, by original designation. 



The describer placed this genus in the Aspidiotini. Balachowsky, 1948b : 

 382, accepted the genus as valid and assigned it to his Aspidiotina. 



Chrysomphalus Ashmeacl, 1880, Amer. Ent, 3 : 267. 



type-species : (Chrysomphalus ficus Ashmead, 1880) —Coccus aonidum Lin- 

 naeus, 1758, by monotypy. 



The date and citation presented above are generally accepted for the establish- 

 ment of this aspidiotine genus. However, Ashmead, 1879, Florida Agriculturist, 

 v. 2, published an account of the insect, and it is possible that he included 

 sufficient descriptive material to fix the genus and species from that date. We 

 have not seen this publication. Coccus aonidum Linnaeus, 1758, has been widely 

 recognized as type-species, but Ferris, 1937c: 50, 53-54, first accepted, then, 

 1937d : 105, rejected the concept and retained ficus as type-species. Williams 

 (1960, in lit.) examined type specimens of aonidum in the collection of the 

 Linnaean Society of London and decided that ficus Ashmead of authors was 

 identical with it. We have not succeeded in locating type material of ficus. 



Chrysonphalus Monastero, 1955, Palermo Univ. 1st. Ent. Agr. e 

 Osserv. Fitopat. Bol. 1 : 89. 

 A lapsus for Chrysomphalus Ashmead.
