Ascelis Schrader, 1863. Ent. Soc. X.S. Wales Trans. 1 : 6. 



type-species : Ascelis praemollis Schrader, 1S63, by nionotypy. 



The describer associated this genus with Apiomorpha Rlibsaainen and Opis- 

 thoscelis Schrader. Ferris, 1957c: 84. included it in the Eriococcidae, and Hoy, 

 1963. New Zeal. Dept. Sci. and Indus. Res. Bui. 150 : 6. placed it there tentatively. 



Asphodelococcus Morrison, 19-15, Wash. Acad. Sci. Jour. 35 : 41-42. 



type- species : Bipersia asphodeli Bodenheimer, 1927, by original designation 

 and monotypy. 



The indicated assignment for this genus was within the Heterococcus Ferris 

 complex of the Plicnacoccus Cockerell series of genera in the Pseudococcidae. 



Asphodeloripersia Bodenheimer, 1953, Istanbul Univ. Facult. des Sci. 

 Rev. (ser.B) 18:164. 



We believe that this is a lapsus for Asphodelococcus Morrison since the associ- 

 ated figure on page 124 is labeled Aspliodelococcus asphodeli, 



Aspidaspis Ferris, 1938, Microentomology 3 : 45 : 1938, Atlas of the 

 Scale Insects of North America (ser. 2) [v. 2] : SII-181. 



type-species : Aspidiotns densiflorae Bremner, 1907, by original designation. 



The author included five species here and indicated a relationship witb 

 Aspidiotns Bouche (str.). Balachowsky, 1950b: 545, recognized the genus for 

 the Palearctic area, assigned three species to it, and placed it in the Aspidiotini. 



Aspidatus Kirchner, 1856, Lotos 6 : 218. 

 A lapsus for Aspidiotns Bouche. 



Aspidiatus Breyer, 1862, Soc. Ent. de Beige Ann. 6 : 97. 

 A lapsus for Aspidiotns Bouche. 



Aspidiella Leonardi, 1898, Eiv. di Patol. Veg. (1897) 6: 50 (210), 

 60(220). 



type-species : Aspidiotns sacchari Cockerell, 1894, by original designation. 



Originally presented as a new subgenus of Aspidiotns Bouche, the author in- 

 cluded here a collection of aspidiotine forms now widely scattered in several 

 genera. Ferris, 1937c: 50, 53, accepted this as a valid zoological unit. Bala- 

 chowsky, 1958b: 282-286, accepted the genus for the species hortii (Cockerell) 

 and sacchari Cockerell. 



Aspidioides MacGillivray, 1921, The Coccidae, p. 387. 



type-species : Aspidiotns corokiae Maskell, 1891, by original designation. 



Lindinger, 1937: 179, and Ferris, 1937c: 50, both used this spelling, which 

 first appeared in a key on page 387. On subsequent pages (4fM>. 477) in his 

 book, MacGillivray presented the spelling Aspidoides, but this presumably is 

 to be rejected because of definite acceptance of the initial spelling. Ferris, 

 l!»lle: 42, suggested the possibility thai the type-species would assign to the 

 genus Aspidiella Leonardi. Borchsenius and Williams. 1963, Brit. Bffus. (Nat. 

 Hist.) Ent. Bui. 13: 384, considered the resemblance to Aspidiella superficial and
