Acledra Signoret, 1864, Soc. Ent. de France Ann. (1863) (ser. 4) 3: 

 547, of Kloet and Hincks, 1945, A Check List of British Insects, 

 p. 76. 



Kloet and Hincks presented Acledra Signoret, 1864, a valid generic name in 

 the Heteroptera, as an alternate to Aclerda Signoret, 1874, in the Coccoidea. In 

 our opinion this is unjustifiable. 



Aclerda Signoret, 1874, Soc. Ent. de France Aim. (ser. 5) 4: 96; 1875, 

 Soc. Ent. de France Ann. [Bui. Ent.] (1874) (ser. 5) 4: vii. 



type-species : Aclerda suMerranca Signoret, 1874, by monotypy. 



This name has been used consistently since its original publication to designate 

 a group of coccid species, with rather specialized morphological characteristics, 

 which has been accepted as a distinct family since the establishment of the 

 Coccoidea as a superfamily. The classification of the Aclerdidae was critically 

 reviewed by McConnell, 1954. 



Acontonidia Brimblecombe, 1957, Queensland Jour. Agr. Sci. 14 : 285. 



type-species : Acontonidia triangular m Brimblecombe, 1957, by original des- 

 ignation and monotypy. 



This genus was placed by the author in the Aspidiotini, somewhat related to 

 Pseud a on idia Cockerell.
