AN ANNOTATED LIST OF GENERIC NAMES OF THE COCCOIDEA 41 



Coccomytilus Leonard!, 1898, Riv. di Patol. Veg. (1897) 6: 45(205)- 

 46(206). 



type-species: Mptilaspis conrexa Maskell. 1S94, by subsequent designation 

 in Femald Catalogue. 1903b : 304. 



The type of this genus was redescribed by Morrison and Morrison. 1922 : 100. 

 Ferris. 1941a : 12, accepted it as a valid genus. Silvestri, 1939 : S12, differentiated 

 it from Mytilococcus Amerling [Lepidosaplies of authors]. It also was accepted 

 as valid by Hall, 1946a : 508, and Balachowsky, 1954e : 23. 117. who placed it tn 

 bis Lepidosapbedina. 



Cocconidia Amvot, 1847. Soc. Exit, de France Ann. (ser. 2) 5: 494. 



This is a uninomial designation believed to stand for the mealybug currently 

 known as Pseudococcus adonidum (Linnaeus) , 175S. Although entered in Neave, 

 1939.. Nonien. Zool. 1 : 779, it appears to have no standing as a coccid generic 

 name. 



Coccopoa Amvot, 1847, Soc. Ent. de France Ann. (ser. 2) 5: 494. 



The author presented this uninomial designation as a substitute for Coccus 

 phalaridis Linnaeus, 1761. This species does not seem to have been placed crit- 

 ically in modern coccid classification. It is presented in Neave, 1939, Nonien. 

 Zool. 1 : 779, although without standing as a coccid generic name. 



Coccoptelia Amvot. 1847, Soc. Ent. de France Ann. (ser. 2) 5: 495. 



This is a uninomial designation offered to replace a generic and specific name 

 for the insect involved, which in this instance seems to be the coccid currently 

 called Gossyparia spuria (Modeer), 1778. This Amvot name appears to have no 

 validity as representing a generic unit but is included in Neave. 1939. Nonien. 

 Zool. 1 : 779. 



Coccum Lederin tillers, 1760, Mikroskopischer Gemiiths-nnd Augen- 

 Ergotznng, pp. 64-65, 73. 



The author presented this name as a personally preferred alternate spelling of 

 the Greek-derived Coccus. While he associated this with polonicum and other 

 specific names, his treatment does not appear to be strictly binomial throughout 

 his discussion, so the name does not seem to be available beyond recognition of 

 its identity with the widely accepted Coccus Linnaeus. 



Coccura Snlc, 190S. Klubn Prirod.. Prostejove. Vest. (1907), p. 64. 



type-species : Coccus comari Kiinow, 1SS0, by original designation and 

 monotypy. 



Tbere has been confusion in the discussions of the status of this genus. Lin- 

 clinger. 1937 : 182. indicated its identity with Tetrura Lichtenstein, 1882, believing 

 that its type-species was identical with 1\ ruoi Lichtenstein, 1882. Subsequent 

 workers, especially Borchsenius, 1948a : 953, considered that the type-species of 

 these two genera were distinct and that Coccura was valid. Borchsenius placed 

 it in a recognizable group of the Pseudococcidae, which he called the Coc- 

 curini, and included here also the genera Afediococcus Kiritshenko, Centrococcus 

 Borchsenius, and Calyptococcus Borchsenius. Takahashi. 1958 : 3, accepted it as 

 a valid genus for Japan.
