AN ANNOTATED LIST OF GENEEIC NAMES OF THE COCCOIDEA 67 



Ephedraspis Borchsenius, 1949, Akad. Nauk SSSK Dok. (n.s.) 64: 

 738. 



type-species : Aspidiotus ephedrarum Lindinger, 1912, by original designa- 

 tion and monotypy. 



Its proposer assigned this genus to the Aspidiotini and suggested a relation- 

 ship to Chorti?iaspis Ferris. Balachowsky, 1956: 14, placed the name as a 

 synonym of Aograllaspis Balachowsky, 1948. 



Epicoccus Cockerell, 1902, Ann. and Mag. Nat. Hist. (ser. 7) 9 : 24. 



type-species : Coccus acaciae Maskell, 1897, by original designation and 

 monotypy. 



This genus obviously assigns to the Pseudococcidae. Morrison and Morrison, 

 1922 : 41, redescribed the genus and its type-species, but since the redescription 

 of Ripersia Signoret by Reyne, 1951a, their suggestions on probable relationships 

 no longer have significance. 



Epidiaspis Cockerell, 1899, 111. Nat. Hist. Survey Bui. 5 : 398 ; 1902, 

 Entomologist 35 : 59. 



type-species : (Aspidiotus piricola Del Guercio, 1894) = Diaspis leperii 

 Signoret, 1869, by subsequent designation of Fernald, 1903b: 250. 



The author presented this name in his checklist as a subgenus of Diaspte 

 Costa with two included species, but in the second citation, associated the genus 

 with piricola only. Lindinger, 1912b : 359, 388, indicated the identity of species 

 piricola Del Guercio, 1894, and leperii Signoret, 1869, by citing both as synonyms 

 of oetulae Baerensprung, 1849. Ferris, 1937: SI-51, and various European 

 coccid students, including Balachowsky, 1954e : 217, accepted the piricola- leperii 

 synonymy but not Lindinger's opinion in regard to oetulae. We have no critical 

 opinion on this point. Balachowsky assigned the genus to the Diaspidina, group 

 I, diaspiform. 



Eremaspis Bodenheimer, 1951, Ent. Ber. 13 : 330. 



type-species : Pinnaspis zillae Hall, 1923, by original designation. 



The describer indicated that this genus was proposed for certain species 

 originally described in Pinnaspis Cockerell and Chionaspis Signoret. Borch- 

 senius and Williams, 1963, Brit. Mus. (Nat. Hist.) Ent. Bui. 13 : 360, placed it in 

 synonymy with Contigaspis MacGillivray, 1921, because they considered the type- 

 species of the two genera congeneric. 



Eremiaspis Balachowsky, 1951, Actualites Sci. et Indus., Ent. Appl. 

 1127:671. 



type-species : Hemiberlesia oalachowshyi Rungs, 1936, by original designa- 

 tion and monotypy. 



This name has priority of publication date over the preceding (before April as 

 against Sept. 1), but even so, it seems to us that it will be possible to retain 

 both names because of the one-letter difference in spelling (Code Article 56(a) ). 

 At the time of description, Balachowsky assigned this genus to his Aspidiotini, 

 Targionlna.
