AX ANNOTATED LIST OF GENERIC NAMES OF THE COCCOIDEA 103 



Laingaspis Borchsenius and Williams, 1963, Brit, Mus. (Nat. Hist.) 

 Ent. Bui. 13 : 364. 



type-species: Poliaspis lanigera Laing, 1929, by original designation and 

 monotypy. 



The authors placed this genus in the Diaspidini, set apart from other members 

 of the tribe by the position and character of the pygidial ducts. 



Laingiococcus Morrison, 1945, Wash. Acad. Sci. Jour. 35 : 54. 



type-species: Heterococcus painei Laing, 1930, by original designation and 

 monotypy. 



Williams, 1960 : 400, accepted this genus in the Pseudococcidae and redescribed 

 the type-species. 



Lakshadia Mahdihassan, 1923, Vizianagaram, India, Maharajah's 



Col. Sci. Assoc. Jour. 1 : 98. 



type-species : Lakshadia indica Mahdihassan, 1923, new name for Tacliardia 

 lacca (Kerr), by substitution. 



The author proposed the use of this name derived from laksha, the Sanskrit 

 word for lac, to indicate the true lac insect and the retention of Tacliardia for the 

 pseudolac insects. No definite type designation was made but the name Lakshadia 

 indica was substituted for the Tachardia lacca found on Butca frondosa. The 

 situation was further confused by the proposal of several new specific names for 

 various components of the previous Coccus lacca of authors complex, based 

 largely on the color of the lac produced. Coccid workers have not accepted this 

 generic substitution and the International Rules of Nomenclature do not permit 

 it. 



Laminicoccus Williams, 1960, Brit. Mus. (Xat. Hist.) Ent. Bui. 8: 

 402. 



type-species : Tylococcus giffardi Ehrhorn, 1916, by original designation. 



The author described this genus in the Pseudococcidae. He noted that it 

 lacked a claw denticle but showed some other similarities to Rastrococcus Ferris 

 and Puto Signoret of the Phenacoccus Cockerell series. 



Lapazia Ferris, 1937, Atlas of the Scale Insects of North America 

 (ser.l) [v.l]:SI-68. 



type-species : Lepidosaphes obtecta Ferris, 1921, by original designation and 

 monotypy. 



The author assigned this genus to the Diaspidini with the suggestion of a con- 

 nection with Pallulaspis Ferris and perhaps Situlaspis MacGillivray. Balachow- 

 sky, 1954e : 23, included it in his Lepidosaphedina. 



Lattaspidiotus MacGillivray, 1921, The Coccidae, pp. 457-458. 



type-species: Aspidiotus (Diaspidiotus) tesseratus de Charmoy, 1899, by 

 original designation. 



The author assigned this genus to the Aspidiotini. The name was placed as a 

 synonym of Duplaspidiotus MacGillivray by Ferris, 1937c : 51, 55, 1938a : SII- 

 226 ; and Balachowsky, 1951 : 680, 1953i : 1512.
