AN ANNOTATED LIST OF GENERIC NAMES OF THE COCCOIDEA 19 



Asterococcus Borchsenius, 1960, Akad. Nauk SSSR Zool. Inst. (n.s. 

 77) 8:113-115. 



type-species : Asterococcus schimae Borchsenius, 1960, by original 

 designation. 



This genus was established for four species, and was placed in close associa- 

 tion with Cerococcus Comstock. 



Asterodiaspis Signoret, 1877, Soc. Ent. de France Ann. [Bui. Ent.] 

 (ser. 5) 6: ccix. 



type-species : Aonidia ilicicola Targioni-Tozzetti, 1888, misidentified by 

 Signoret as Asterolecanium quercicola (Bouche), 1851. See Russell, 1941 : 

 109, for a report on her examination of Signoret specimens. 



Russell, 1941 : 4, placed this name as a synonym of Asterolecanium Targioni- 

 Tozzetti. Borchsenius, 1950a : 781, 1960d ; 174, recognized it as a valid genus 

 and included 17 species in it. 



Asterolecanium Targioni-Tozzetti, 1868, (separate) Soc. Ital. di Sci. 

 Nat. Atti 11 : 41 ; 1869, 11 : 734. 

 type-species : Coccus aureus Boisduval, 1868, by monotypy. 



Targioni-Tozzetti presented aureus Boisduval as a synonym of "Asteroleca- 

 nium aureum nob." Coccus aureus Boisduval is at present considered to be 

 a synonym of Lecanlum epidendri Bouche, 1844. 



Russell, 1941, considered Asterolecanium to be a relatively homogeneous genus 

 containing (in 1941) 160 species and varieties. Borchsenius, 1960d : 131, 

 recognized 11 genera in the complex and restricted Asterolecanium to 3 species. 



Asymmetraspis MacGillivray, 1921, The Coccidae, p. 311. 



type-species : Chionaspis distorta Newstead, 1917, by original designation. 



The author placed this genus in his Diaspidini in association with several 

 other new genera. Hall, 1946a : 503-504, accepted it as a valid genus. 



Atriplicia Cockerell and Kolrwer, 1909, Ent. Soc. Wash. Proc. (1908) 

 10: 169. 



type-species : Atriplicia gallicola Cockerell and Rohwer, 1909, by monotypy. 



Neave, 1939, Nomen. Zool. I: 351, credited this genus to Cockerell only, but 

 the original paper indicated that joint authorship existed. Lindinger, 1937 : 

 180, presented a thoroughly confusing " Atriplicia Cockerell 1893." Ferris, 1955a : 

 94, placed the name in synonymy under Eriococcus Targioni-Tozzetti, but at the 

 same time presented distinctive, descriptive information of a sort that has been 

 used by some workers for generic recognition. Hoy, 1963, New Zeal. Dept. Sci. 

 and Indus. Res. Bui. 150 : 6, restored the genus to full value. 



Atrococcus Goux, 1941, Mus. d'Hist. Nat. Marseille Bui. [n.v. (v. 

 1?)](1):69. 

 type-species : Atrococcus melanovirens Goux, 1941, by original designation. 



The author first established this as a subgenus of Pseudococcus Westwood, 

 but later in the same paper treated it as a genus. Williams, 1962 : 8, accepted 

 the genus for three British species and noted that North American Spilococcus 

 Ferris, 1950, and Chorizoccus McKenzie, 1960, show a close relationship to it.
