AN ANNOTATED LIST OF GENERIC NAMES OF THE COCCOIDEA 3 



Acreagris Koch and Berendt, 1845, Neues Jahrebuch fair Mineralogia : 

 873, nomen nudum ; 1854, in Berendt, Die im Bernstein befindlichen 

 Organ. Rest© der Vorwelt 1 (2) : pi. 17, f . 157. 

 type-species : Acreagris crenata Koch and Berendt, 1854, by nionotypy. 



This genus was based on a rnargarodid female from Baltic amber, originally 

 described as an Aptera. Ferris, 1941 : 6-10, gave a detailed discussion of this 

 genus, its type-species, and probable fossil relatives. He accepted it as quite 

 similar to existing Matsucoccus Cockerell. 



Actenaspis Leonardi, 1906, Portici R. Scuola Super, di Agr. Ann. 

 (ser. 2) 6:4,25. 

 type-species : Leucaspis pusilla Low, 1883, by monotypy. 



This name has been placed by subsequent workers as a synonym of Leucaspis 

 Low. 



Aculeococcus Lepage, 1941, Inst. Biol. [Sao Paulo] Arch. 12: 141. 



type-species : Aculeocoocus morrisoni Lepage, 1941, by original designation 

 and monotypy. 



This genus is currently assigned to the Eriococcidae. 



Acutaspis Ferris, 1941, Atlas of the Scale Insects of North America 

 (ser. 3) [v. 3] : SIII-328. 



type-species : Aspidiotus perseae Comstock, 1881, by original designation. 



This genus was established for seven aspidiofine species, and its assignment 

 to the Aspidiotini is generally accepted. 



Acystomargarodes Bodenheimer, 1953, Istanbul Univ. Facult. des 

 Sci. Rev. (ser. B) 18: 152. 



type-species : Margarodes tritici Bodenheimer, 1941, by present designation. 



This post-1930 generic name was proposed, in tentative fashion only, for two 

 named species presumably having similar characteristics in the adult stage, but 

 no type-species was selected at the time of publication. Regardless of any zoo- 

 logical validity, the name appears to be deprived of status by the restrictions of 

 Article 13 of the 1961 Zoological Code. 



Adelosoma Borchsenius, 1948, Akad. Nauk SSSR Dok. (n.s.) 63 : 583. 



type-species : Adelosoma phragmitidis Borchsenius, 1948, by original desig- 

 nation and monotypy. 



This genus was placed by its author as related to Pseudantonina Green in the 

 Pseudococcinae. 



Adiscodiaspis Marchal, 1909, Acad, des Sci. [Paris] Compt. Rend. 

 148: 871. 

 type-species : Diaspis (Adiscodiaspis) ericicola Marchal, 1909, by monotypy. 



Balachowsky, 1949 : 109, and 1953g : 760, placed this name as a synonym of Ru- 

 gaspidiotus MacGillivray, 1921. The Marchal name has clear priority if the 

 genera are accepted as identical.
