replacement for Coelostoma Brulle. 1835. Lindinger, 1937: 181, charged Cockrell 

 with the use of this misspelling. 



Caia Williams. 1963. Brie. Mus. (Nat. Hist.) Ent. Bui. 15: 26. 



type-species: Caia quernea Williams. 1963. by original designation and 

 monotypy. 



The author referred this genus to the Iiepidosaphes Shimer series of the 

 Diaspidini with close affinities with Andaspis MacGillivray. 



Calicoccus Balachowsky, 1959. Rev. Acad. Colombiana 10 : 339. 



type-species: Calicoccus guazumae Balachowsky. 1959. by original desig- 

 nation and monotypy. 



The describer placed this genus in the Pseudococcidae, related to Hypogeo- 

 coccus Rau. 



Calimmata O. G. Costa. 1S35. 4 Fauna del Regno di Xapoli. Famiglia 

 de' Coceinigliferi. o de' Gallinsetti. Emitteri Xapoli, p. 2. 



Costa used this particular spelling in a footnote on page 2 for the segregate 

 from the genus Coccus- sens. lat. which he had called Calymmata in 1828: later 

 in the paper, p. 8, he substituted still another name. Calypticus, for Calimmata. 

 We have found no evidence that Calimmata has ever had standing in the Oocebi- 

 dea. although Westwood, 1840 : 447. did discuss a Costa genus under this name. 



Caliptici O. G. Costa. 1835, 5 Fauna del Regno di Xapoli. Famiglia de' 

 Coceinigliferi. o de" Gallinsetti. Emitteri Xapoli. p. 2. 



Costa used this spelling for an italicized name, which was one "of three distinct 

 genera" into which he divided Coccus Linnaeus, sens. lat. We have found no 

 evidence that it ever acquired status in the Coecoidea. 



Callipalpus "Sign. 1875," Lindinger. 1937. Ent. Jahrb. 46 : 181. 



In spite of diligent search through all the Signoret coccid papers known to us, 

 we have failed to verify this spelling for a coccid generic name. Lindinger stated. 

 " = Callipappus Guer." 



4 This paper shows no date or other evidence of actual time of issue, and coccid 

 workers and bibliographers from Agassiz and Hagen through Neave, including 

 Sherborn. and Horn arid Schenkling, are vague or arbitrary on the probable 

 date of issue. Lindinger. 1943c: 248, after having earlier (1937: 183) accepted 

 an 1835 date for the work, reported that Guerin-Meneville, 1844: 379. gave the 

 date of publication for this Costa paper as 1829, and. indeed. Guerin-Meneville 

 did state unequivocally that tins was the publication date and that it con- 

 siderably preceded the Burmeister 1835 Handbuch. Because of the appearance 

 in 1828 of his paper (Costa 1828a) dividing the genus Coccus, there is a degree 

 of plausibility in an assumption that Costa did proceed immediately thereafter 

 to complete and publish bis paper on the coccid fauna of the Naples region. 

 However, the acceptance of a later date, usually 1835, has become so firmly 

 fixed in coccid literature, and the Guerin-Meneville allegation remains so com- 

 pletely without substantiation, in spite of much careful digging for evidence. 

 that we have arbitrarily accepted the year 1835 as the date to be associated with 

 the Costa "Fauna" names.
