AN ANNOTATED LIST OF GENERIC NAMES OF THE COCCOIDEA 13 



Aonidia Targioni-Tozzetti, 1868, (separate) Soc. Ital. cli Sci. Nat, Atti 

 11: 43; 1869, 11: 735. 



type-species : Aonidia purpurea Targioni-Tozzetti, 1868, a name substituted 

 by the author for Aspidiotus lauri Bouche, 1833. 



This genus has retained its present concept, although soon after its first publi- 

 cation Signoret, in his early monographic work, made some attempt to associate 

 Aonidia with Coccus aonidum Linnaeus, 1758. Balachowsky, 1958b : 232, pro- 

 posed assignment to Aonidina, Aspidiotini, Diaspidinae, Diaspidiclae. 



Aonidiella Berlese and Leonarcli, 1895, in Berlese, Riv. di Patol. Veg. 



(1896)4:77,83. 



type-spectes : Aspidiotus aurantii Maskell, 1879, by monotypy. 



The authors did not associate this species directly with their new genus when 

 this was described, although the combination was mentioned in a footnote dis- 

 cussing Targioni-Tozzetti's action in assigning the species to his genus Aonidia. 

 In recent years this genus has acquired full status as a segregate within the 

 Aspidiotinae. McKenzie reviewed the inclusions in 1938 and added supplemen- 

 tary information in 1942b, 1946, and 1953, covering a total of 22 species. Bala- 

 chowsky, 1956 : 22-49, reviewed the 19 African species of the genus. 



Aonidomytilus Leonardi, 1903, Portici R. Scuola Super, di Agr. Ann. 

 (1904) (ser. 2) 5:4,102. 



type-species: Mytilaspis alius var. concolor Cockerell, 1893, by monotypy. 



The describer presented this first as a subgenus (p. 4), later as a genus (p. 

 102), indicating a relationship with Mytilaspis (i.e., LepidosapJies Shimer). 

 Subsequent workers, including Ferris, 1942: SIV-446-448, have accepted the 

 genus as a valid unit and have assigned several species to it. Balachowsky, 

 1954e: 23, included it in his Lepidosaphedina but listed maidenl Maskell as the 

 type-species. 



Apezococcus Ferris, 1955, Atlas of the Scale Insects of North America 



7:78-79. 



type-species : Apezococcus idiastes Ferris, 1955, by original designation and 

 monotypy. 



The author placed this genus in his Eriococcidae. Hoy, 1963, New Zeal. Dept. 

 Sci. and Indus. Res. Bui. 150 : 6, agreed. 



Apiococcus Hempel, 1900, Rev. Mils. Panlista LSao Paulo] 4: 401. 



type-species : Apiococcus gregarius Hempel, 1900, by original designation. 



The author assigned this genus to the Dactylopiinae (of the Fernald Catalogue, 

 1903b). Ferris, 1957c: 84, placed it in the Eriococcidae, as did Hoy, 1963, New 

 Zeal. Dept. Sci. and Indus. Res. Bui. 150 : 6. 



Apiomorpha Rubsaamen, 1894, Berlin. Ent. Ztschr. 39 : 201, 204. 



type-species : Brachyscelis pileata Schrader, 1863, designated by Lindinger, 

 1937 : 179. 



This name was substituted by Rubsaamen for the name Brachyscelis Schrader, 

 1863, which was preoccupied by use in 1834 in the Coleoptera. In spite of the long
