AN ANNOTATED LIST OF GENEKIC NAMES OF THE COCCOIDEA 89 



Gymnaspis Newstead, 1898, Ent. Monthly Mag. 34 : 92. 



type-species : Gymnaspis aechmeae Newstead, 1898, by monotypy. 



This genus has been accepted since its establishment. The latest assignment 

 is that of Balachowsky, 1958b : 342, to his Gymnaspidina, Parlatorini. 



Gymnococcus Douglas, 1888, Ent. Monthly Mag. 25 : 150 ; Cockerell, 

 1896, 111. State Lab. Nat. Hist. 4 : 323. 



type-species : Coccus agavium Douglas, 1888, by monotypy. 



The citations given above are presented in Neave, 1939, Nomen. Zool. II : 529. 

 If the Douglas reference is rejected as a basis for establishment of the genus, 

 an action which we consider to be proper, then status for the name as a coccid 

 genus dates from Cockerell, 1893dd: 1049. The point is of academic interest 

 only, however, since KLoet, 1944: 86, noted the use of Gymnococcus by Zopf in 

 the Protozoa in 1884 and proposed the name Ovaticoccus as a substitute for the 

 coccid Gymnococcus. 



Haematococcus Keyne, 1961, Beaufortia (Zool. Mus. Amsterdam) 8 : 

 127. 



type-species : Haematococcus obtusispinus Reyne, 1961, by original designa- 

 tion. 



Reyne placed this genus in the Eriococcidae as defined by Ferris, 1957c: 82- 

 83, a placement confirmed by Hoy, 1963, New Zeal. Dept. Sci. and Indus. Res. BuL 

 150 : 9. The name is preoccupied, having been proposed previously in the 

 Protozoa. 



Halimococcoides Lindinger, 1943, Ztschr. der Wien. Ent. Gesell. 28 : 

 221. 



type-spectes : Fiorinia keicensis Newstead, 1901, by original designation and 

 monotypy. 



This genus assigns to the Phoenicococcidae. According to Lindinger, Hali- 

 mococcus torassi Green, 1902. is identical with keicensis Newstead. Ferris, 

 1952: 3, assigned keicensis to Colobopyga Brethes, 1912, with Halimococca-s 

 nesiotes Laing a synonym. There is no evidence that Ferris was familiar with 

 Lindinger's genus Halimococcmdes, but his treatment of its type-species, keicen- 

 sis, will result in its placement as a synonym of Colobopyga. 



Halimococcus Cockerell, 1902, Entomologist 35 : 15. 



type-spectes : Halimococcus lampas Cockerell, 1902, by monotypy. 



Stickney, 1934 : 6, who studied this and related genera critically, assigned it 

 to his Phoenicococcinae. 



Hallaspidiotus Mamet, 1951, Inst. Sci. de Madagascar, Mem. Ser. A, 

 5 : 217. 



type-species : Gymnaspis africana Newstead, 1913, by original designation 

 and monotypy. 



Lindinger, 1957: 549, placed the type-species as "Cryptaspidiotus africanus 

 (Newst) 1913," which creates a question as to the status of the genus.
