discovered the Molluscan preoccupation shortly after the presentation of Aspi- 

 dites by Berlese and Leonardi and suggested the name Hemilerlesia as a 

 substitute.

ttpe-species : Walkeriana pertiriax Newstead, 1901, by original designation 

 and monotypy. 



Newstead's presentation of this name was curiously contradictory. The type- 

 species was actually presented in Walkeriana Signoret. The generic name 

 Aspidoproctus was only presented in an appended discussion of the original intent 

 of the author, and was discarded in his final action, which we interpret as 

 presentation in synonymy (1961 Code, Article 11(d)). The generic name 

 Aspidoproctus has had long use, however, and was validated in Opinion 268 

 (1954) : 397, of the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature. For 

 its relationships in the Coccoidea see Morrison. 1928: 151. 



Aspisarcus "Newport" Walker, 1852, List of the Specimens of Homop- 

 terous Insects in the Collection of the British Museum. Pt. 4 : 1088. 



ttpe-species: Aspisarcus eucalypti Newport [no date], nomen nudum, by 

 monotypy. 



Although presented by Walker as indicated, we have not succeeded in finding 

 earlier references to Newport's proposal of the names, and follow other coccid 

 workers in regarding both genus and species as nomina nuda. Fernald Catalogue, 

 1903b : [330], suggested "A Psyllid ?" but since no description of any sort accom- 

 panied the Walker presentation, we do not understand the basis for the 

 suggestion.
