Discococcus Ferris, 1953, Atlas of the Scale Insects of North America 

 6:314.

 This genus was placed in the Pseudococcidae by its describer. 



Discodiaspis Koroneos, 1934, Les Coccidae de la Grece surtout du 

 Pelion, p. 88. 



type-species : Discodiaspis suaedae Koroneos, 1934, by monotypy. 



Lindinger, 1937: 183, and Balachowsky, 1953g: 749-750, placed the type- 

 species as a synonym of Protargionia salicorniae Gomez-Menor. Both Ferris, 

 1937d : 104, and Balachowsky, 1953g : 749-750, 754-755, considered the genus to be 

 zoologically valid and assignable to the Odonaspidini. 



Distichlicoccus Ferris, 1950, Atlas of the Scale Insects of North 

 America (ser. 5) [v. 5] : 21, 48. 



type-species : Dactylopius salinus Cockerell, 1902, by original designation. 

 Its describer placed this genus in the Pseudococcidae. 



Doriopus Brimblecombe, 1959, Queensland Jour. Agr. Sci. 16: 381, 

 397, nomen nudum ; 1960, 17 : 193. 



type-species : Doriopus bilobus Brimblecombe, 1959, by original designation 

 and monotypy. 



Its describer associated this genus with the Australian diaspidid genera 

 Hybridaspis Green and Hemiaspidis MacGillivray. Borchsenius and Williams, 

 1963, Brit. Mus. (Nat. Hist.) En't. Bui 13: 375, placed it in the Parlatoriini, 

 noting that those affinities were revealed by the second-stage female. 



Dorthesia d'Orthez (or Dorthez), 1785, Observations sur le Physique 

 sur l'Histoire naturelle et sur les Arts [Jour, de Phys.] 26 : 207. 

 type-species : Orthezia characias [Bosc d' Antic], 1784, by monotypy. 



The original papers presenting this name and Orthezia Bosc d' Antic have 

 not been seen, and the conclusions here presented are based primarily on 

 F. B. White, 1880: 304. According to him the originally presented generic 

 name was Orthezia [Bosc] 1784 ; then, still according to White, the Abb6 d'Orthez, 

 whose name was the source of the original name, published on it in 1785 but 

 emended Orthezia into Dorthesia. Both names have appeared in print subse- 

 quently as either "-zia" or "-sia." Signoret, 1868-1877, presented both Dorthesia 

 and Dorthezia. This name, in either spelling, is currently accepted as belonging 

 in synonymy under Orthezia Bosc d'Antic, 1784. The type-species is considered 

 to be a synonym of Coccus urticae Linnaeus.
