Mizococcus Takahashi, 1928, Philippine Jour. Sci. 36 : 336. 



ttpe-species : Mizococcus sacchari Takahashi, 1928, by original designation 

 and monotypy. 



Lindinger, 1932c: 203, placed this name in synonymy with Ripcrsia Signoret, 

 and proposed a new specific name, takahashii, because of prior use of sacchari in 

 Riper sia. He, 1943c: 250, replaced Ripersia with Tychca Koch. These actions 

 are of doubtful validity. See under Tychea.
