Adiscofionina Balachowsky, 1953, Actualites Sci. et Indus., Ent. Appl. 

 1202 : 727. 

 A lapsus for Adiscofiorinia Leonardi. 



Adiscofiorinia Leonardi, 1906, Redia (1905) 3: 17, 52. 



type-species : Fiorinia secreta Green, 1896, designated by MacGillivray, 1921 : 

 372. 



The author placed this genus as related to Fiorinia Targioni-Tozzetti. 



Adisodiaspis Bodenheimer, 1937, l'Inst, d'Egypte Mem. 33 : 218. 

 A lapsus for Adiscodiaspis Marchal. 



Aegyptococcus Ezzat, 1963, 16th Internatl. Congr. Zool. Proc. 1 : 192. 



type-species : Phenacoccus inermis Hall, 1925, by original designation and 

 monotypy. 



The author established this genus in the Pseudococcidae for the type-species 

 of Mirococcus Borchsenius, 1947, and gave as his reason the absence from the 

 original characterization of Mirococcus and the redescription of inermis Hall 

 by Williams, 1958, of certain definite characters present in authentic material of 

 inermis Hall. Since such an action is not in accord with provisions of the Inter- 

 national Code of Zoological Nomenclature, Aegyptococcus Ezzat stands as a 

 synonym of Mirococcus Borchsenius because of community of type-species. 



Affirmaspis MacGillivray, 1921, The Cocciclae, pp. 393, 448. 3 



type-species : Aspidiotus socotranus Lindinger, 1913, by original designation. 



Recent workers have placed this name as a synonym of Quadraspidiotus 

 MacGillivray. 



Af ricaspis MacGillivray, 1921, The Coccidae, p. 307. 



type- species : Diaspis cliionaspiformis Newstead, 1910, by original designa- 

 tion. 



Recent workers have accepted this genus as valid. Balachowsky, 1954e : 171, 

 assigned it to his Diaspidina, chionaspiform group. 



Af riconidia McKenzie, 1947, Calif. Dept. Agr. Bui. 36 : 110-111. 



type-species : Af riconidia halli McKenzie, 1947, by original designation and 

 monotypy. 



The most recent discussion of this genus, Balachowsky, 1958b : 149-150, 226, 

 placed the type-species as a synonym of Gymnaspis africana Newstead, 1913. The 

 original indications of relationship were with Aonidiella Berlese and Leonardi 

 and Diaspidiotus Berlese and Leonardi. 



3 Neave, Nomenclator Zoologicus, I-V, 1939-1950, apparently consistently, sup- 

 plies two page citations for MacGillivray's new genera ; the need for this is not 

 apparent to us and the second page citation is hereafter omitted, except in the 

 few instances where changes of spelling are presented.
