and Indus. Res. Bui. 150: 9, considered the genus valid. Other workers con- 

 sidered it zoologically valid and assigned it within a comparable complex, either 

 of family status or as a recognizable group of genera within the Pseudococcidae 

 (Borchsenius, 1949: 9, 327). We believe that its final zoological status will be 

 determined only when there has been a thorough taxonomic study of all the 

 species which group with it. 



Gossyperia Kuwana, 1907 [Japan] Imp. Cent. Agr. Expt. Sta. Bui. 

 1 (2) : 213. 

 A lapsus for Oossyparia Signoret. 



Gossypariella Borchsenius, 1960, Ent. Obozr. 39 : 920. 



type-species : Rhizococcus siamensis Takahashi, 1942, by original designation 

 and monotypy. 



Borchsenius placed this genus close to Gossyparia Signoret in the Erioeocci- 

 dae. It was so accepted by Hoy, 1963, New Zeal. Dept. Sci. and Indus. Res. Bui. 

 150 : 9, on the basis of the description and figure presented by Borchsenius. 



Gramenaspis MacGillivray, 1921, The Coccidae, p. 309. 



type-species : Chionaspis africana Newstead, 1912, by original designation 

 and monotypy. 



Hall, 1946 : 519, commented that while neither type nor any slides or material 

 of the type-species have been found, the characters given by Newstead suggest 

 the validity of the genus.

 187 (not seen) ; Borchsenius, 1949, Akad. Nauk Zool. Inst. (n.s. 38) 

 7:208. 



This genus is known to us only through the Borchsenius presentation where 

 it was considered to be identical with Phenacoccus Cockerell. 



Graphaspis MacGillivray, 1921, The Coccidae, p. 310. 



type-species : Chionaspis permutans Green, 1899, by original designation and 

 monotypy. 



Rao, 1949: 59-60, placed this name as a synonym of Unaspis MacGillivray, 

 1921, and Balachowsky, 1954e : 288, accepted his placement. 



Greenacoccus MacGillivray, 1921, The Coccidae, p. 474. 



This new name was proposed by MacGillivray for his Greeniella (p. 70) which 

 was preoccupied by Greeniella Cockerell, 1897. Morrison, 192S: 163, placed 

 the name as a synonym of Drosicha Walker, 1858. 



Greenaspis MacGillivray, 1921, The Coccidae, p. 307. 



type-species : Mytilaspis elongata Green, 1896, by original designation and 

 monotypy. 



This has been accepted by recent coccid workers as zoologically valid. Bala- 

 chowsky, 1954e : 171, 276, suggested a relationship to Pinnaspis Cockerell and 

 assigned it to his Diaspidina, chionaspiform.
