Green, 1909a : 305, placed this name as a synonym of Cerococcus Comstock, 1882. 

 Ferris, 1955a : 31, accepted this placement. Borchsenius, 1960d : 104, however, 

 differentiated between Cerococcus Comstock and Cercococcus Scott, and asso- 

 ciated Antecerococcus tentatively in a group with them. 



Antonia Signoret, 1872, Soc. Ent, cle France Aim. [Bui. Ent.] (ser. 5) 

 2 : xxxvi ; 1875, [Bui. Ent,] (ser. 5)4: ccxx. 



type-species : Antonia purpurea Signoret, 1872, by monotypy. 



Signoret's usage of Antonia was preoccupied, according to Neave, 1939, Nomen. 

 Zool. 1 : 235, by use in the Diptera in 1856 and in the Hemiptera in 1864, and was 

 therefore invalid in the Coccoidea. See Antonina Signoret for other comment. 



Antoniella Neave, 1950, Nomen. Zool. V : 18. 

 A misspelling of Antoninella Kiritschenko. 



Antonina Signoret, 1875, Soc. Ent. cle France Ann. (ser. 5) 5 : 24. 



type-species : Antonia purpurea Signoret, 1872, by monotypy. 



Although no statement to that effect was located, we have assumed that 

 Signoret proposed this name on discovery of the earlier usages of Antonia in 

 other groups. The author suggested relationships with Gossyparia Signoret, 

 Capulinia Signoret, and Eriococcus Targioni-Tozzetti. Today it is well estab- 

 lished as an aberrant genus in the Pseudococcidae. 



Antoninella Kiritschenko, 1938, Konowia 16 : 233. 



type-species : Antoninella inaudita Kiritschenko, 1938, by monotypy. 



Both the original describer and Borchsenius, 1950b : 173, indicated a relation- 

 ship to Rhizoecus Kiinckel d'Herculais in the Pseudococcidae for this genus. 



Antoninella Sulc, 1944, Seske Zool. Spolec. Vest. (1944) 9: 148-149. 



type-species : Antonina sulci Green, 1934, by original designation and 

 monotypy. 



This generic name is clearly preoccupied by Antoninella Kiritschenko, 1938. 

 From the incomplete study of casuarinae Maskell, the type-species of Sphaerococ- 

 cus Maskell, 1892, made by Morrison and Morrison, 1922: 35, it appears that 

 Antonina sulci has some relationship to the Maskell genus, but the evidence cur- 

 rently available is too incomplete to permit placing the Sulc name as a synonym 

 of Sphaerococcus Maskell.

 ica 6: 300. 



type-species: Antonina parrotti Cockerell, in Fernald, 1903b, by original 

 designation and monotypy. 



The author indicated close relationships with Antonina Signoret for this genus.
