AN ANNOTATED LIST OF GENERIC NAMES OF THE COCCOIDEA 45 



single genus included in the family which he accepted as properly segregated 

 from, but closer to, the Diaspididae than to other coccids. We concur on both 

 points. 



Conifericoccus Brimblecombe, 1960, Queensland Jour. Agr. Sci. IT: 

 185-186. 



type-species : Conifericoccus invaginatus Brimblecombe, 1960, by original 

 designation. 



The describer included two additional species in this genus which he assigned 

 to close relationship with the margarodid genus Matsucoccus Cockerell. 



Conofilippia Brain, 1920, Bui. Ent. Kes. 11 : 25. 



type- species : Conofilippia subtcrranea Brain, 1920, by original designation 

 and monotypy. 



The proper association of this genus within the Coccidae (str.) has never been 

 studied critically. Lindinger, 1928 : 107, and 1937 : 182, assigned the name as a 

 synonym of Parafairmairea [Lindinger spelling], but Borchsenius, 1957: 133, 

 stated that this synonymy is not correct. 



Contigaspis MacGillivray, 1921, The Coccidae, p. 309. 



type-species : Chionaspis subnudata Newstead, 1912, by original designation. 



The author erected this genus in the Diaspidini. It has generally been accepted 

 as valid. Its status was discussed by Hall, 1946a, and Balachowsky, 1954e, who 

 assigned it to his Diaspidina, chionaspiform complex. Borchsenius and Williams, 

 1963, Brit. Mus. (Nat. Hist.) Ent. Bui. 13 : 360, confirmed its validity and placed 

 it in a group of genera consisting of Sclopetaspis MacGillivray, Unachionaspis, 

 MacGillivray, Balaspis Hall, Neochionaspis Borchsenius, Artemisaspis Borch- 

 senius, and Aloaspis Williams. 



Cooleyaspis MacGillivray, 1921, The Coccidae, p. 308. 



type-species : Chionaspis praelonga Newstead, 1920, by original designation 

 and monotypy. 



Hall, 1946a : 510-511, accepted and discussed this genus of the Diaspidini. 

 Borchsenius and Williams, 1963, Brit. Mus. (Nat. Hist.) Ent. Bui. 13: 360-364, 

 noted that it is very close to Rolaspis Hall and Voraspis Hall. 



Coricoccus Mahdihassan, 1933, [Paris] Acad, des Sci. Compt. Rend. 

 196:562. 



type-species : Coricoccus ornatus proposed as a substitute for Cerococcus 

 ornatus Green, 1909, by original implication. 



The proposer of this genus based it, in his original treatment, not on any ob- 

 servable morphological characteristics but on the reaction of the secretionary 

 cover of its presumed type, ornatus, to various chemical solvents plus the general 

 nature of the associated internal symbionts (said to be bacterial). We are in 

 some doubt if the genus can be accepted as validly described under Article 24(b) 

 of the 1961 Code of Zoological Nomenclature. Certainly it does not meet fully 

 the requirements of Article 13(b) of that Code. Nevertheless, it has entered 

 coccid literature, even if somewhat uncertainly, since Lindinger, 1937 : 182, re- 

 corded it with ornatus as type, and Borchsenius, 1960d : 104, accepted it, although 

 perhaps uncritically, as a legitimate member of the Indo-Malaysian coccid fauna.
