AN ANNOTATED LIST OF GENERIC NAMES OF THE COOCOIDEA 61 



Diaulacaspis Takahashi, 1942, Formosa Govt. Ees. Inst. Dept. Agr. 

 Kpt. 81 : 39-40. 

 type-species : Diaulacaspis siamensis Takahashi, 1942, by original designa- 

 tion and monotypy. 



The describer suggested a relation to Aulacaspis Cockerell but noted con- 

 spicuous differences. 



Dichosoma Brimblecombe, 1957, Queensland Jour. Agr. Sci. 14 : 271. 



type-species : Dichosoma convexa Brimblecombe, 1957, by original designa- 

 tion and monotypy. 



The describer suggested a relationship to Neomorgania MacGillivray and 

 Mimeraspis Brimblecombe in the Aspidiotini. 



Diclavaspis Balachowsky, 1956, Mus. Roy. du Congo Beige [Tervu- 

 ren] Ann : (n. s.) Sci. Zool. 3 : 100. 



type-species: Aspidiotus (Diaspidiotus) ehretiae Brain, 1918, by original 

 designation. 



The describer associated this genus closely with the aspidiotine genera Clavas- 

 pis MacGillivray, Quadraspidiotus MacGillivray, Abgrallaspis Balachowsky, and 

 Aspidaspis Ferris. 



Dicyphococcus Borchsenius, 1959, Ent. Obozr. 38 : 165, 167. 



type-species : Dicyphococcus bigibbus Borchsenius, 1959, by original designa- 

 tion. 



Its describer placed this genus close to Parafairmairia Cockerell and Cardio- 

 coccus Cockerell in the Coccidae ( str. ) . 



Didesmococcus Borchsenius, 1953, Ent. Obozr. 33: 281. 



type-species : Didesmococcus megriensis Borchsenius, 1953, by original desig- 

 nation. 



Its describer placed this genus close to Sphaerolecanium Sulc in the Coccidae 

 (str.). 



Dimargarodes Silvestri, 1938, Notes d'Ent. Chinoise 5: 22. 



type-species : Margarodes mediterraneus Silvestri, 1908, by original designa- 

 tion and monotypy. 



This genus belongs in the Margarodini where it can perhaps be distinguished 

 from Margarodes Guilding (str.). 



Dinaspidiotus Gomez-Menor, 1957, Eos 33 : 45. 

 A lapsus for Dynaspidiotus Thiem & Gerneck. 



Dinaspis Leonardi, 1911, Portici E. Scuola Super, di Agr. Lab. Zool. 

 Gen.eAgr.Bol.5:282. 



type-species : Dinaspis ichesii Leonardi, 1911, by subsequent designation of 

 Sasscer, 1912 : 95. 



Recent workers have presented diverse opinions regarding this genus, but Fer- 

 ris, 1938 : 37, 45-46, considered it to be zoologically valid and Balachowsky, 1954e : 

 23, accepted it and assigned it to his Lepidosaphedina.
