and two drawings sent to him by Targioni. The type-species has never been redis- 

 covered. The present-day concept of the genus began with Newstead, 1893e : 205, 

 who extended the characters of the genus to include his new species formicarum. 

 The number of species referred to this genus by various authors has reached 

 15, according to Borchsenius, 1957 : 91, who published the most recent review of 

 the genus. He placed Lecanopsis in the Filippiinae of the Coccidae (str.) and 

 presented a precise generic recharacterization based on published descriptive 

 notes of other authors and the species he had described. 



Leconium Kirchner, 1856, Lotus 6 : 218. 

 A lapsus for Lecanium Burmeister. 



Ledaspis Hall, 1946, Roy. Ent. Soc., London, Trans. 97 : 522. 



type-species : Chionaspis (Dinaspis) mashonae Hall, 1928, by original 

 designation. 



The author placed this genus in a group of genera of the Phenacaspis Cooley 

 and Cockerell complex of the Diaspidini, closest to Tecaspis Hall. Balachowsky, 

 1954e : 549, accepted it as a member of the Diaspidina, group II, chionaspiform. 



Lef roya Lindinger, 1937, Ent. Jahrb. 46 : 187. 

 A lapsus for Lefroyia Green. 



Lef royia Green, 1908, India Dept. Agr. Mem., Ent. Ser. 2 : 21. 



type-species : Lefroyia castaneae Green, 1908, by original designation and 

 monotypy. 



Preoccupied by Lefroyia Jones, 1874, in Pisces, according to Neave, 1939, 

 Nomen. Zool. II : 884. The type-species is synonymous with Pseudopulvinaria 

 sikkimensis Atkinson, hence the name falls into synonymy with Pseudopul- 

 vinaria Atkinson. 



Leocaspis Gomez-Menor, 1957, Eos 33 : 49. 

 A lapsus for Leueaspis Targioni-Tozzetti. 



Leococcus Kanda, 1959, Kontyu 27 : 239-240. 



type-species : Leococcus erigeroneus Kanda, 1959, by original designation 

 and monotypy. 



The author considered this genus closely allied to Puto Signoret or Ceroputo 

 Sulc in the Pseudococcidae. 



Leonardaspis MacGillivray, 1921, The Coccidae, p. 274. 



type-species : Hytilaspis wilga Leonardi, 1903, by original designation and 

 monotypy. 



The author assigned this genus to the Lepidosaphini. Lindinger, 1937 : 187, 

 placed it in synonymy with Mytilococeus Amerling (Lcpidosaphcs Shimer). 

 Borchsenius and Williams, 1963, Brit. Mus. (Nat. Hist.) Ent. Bui. 13: 366, 

 considered it a distinct genus, in certain features close to Bcrlesaspis 

 MacGillivray.
