AN ANNOTATED LIST OF GENERIC NAMES OF THE COCCOIDEA 127 



Mytilella Leonardi, 1903, Portici R. Scuola Super, cli Agr. Ann. 



(1904) (ser.2) 5:20. 



type-species : Mytilaspis carinata Cockerell, 1896, by monotypy. 



This name was placed as a synonym of Opuntiaspis Cockerell by Lindinger, 

 1937 : 190 ; Ferris, 1936a : 25, and Balachowsky, 1954e : 94. 



Mytilepiss Kuwana, 1917, A Check List of the Japanese Coccidae, 

 p. 18. 



A lapsus for Mytilaspis Targioni-Tozzetti. 



Mytilicoccus von Schlechtendal, 1858, Hamburger Gart. u. Blumen- 

 zeitung 14 : 408 (bottom of page) . 



A lapsus for Mytilococcus Amerling. 



Mytillicoccus Amerling, 1858, Lotos 8 : 29. 



A lapsus for Mytilococcus Amerling. This spelling also appeared at top of 

 page 408, von Schlechtendal, 1858. 



Mytilococcus Amerling, 1858, Lotos 8 : 101, 103. 



type-species: {Mytilococcus communis Amerling, 1858) =Coccus ulmi Lin- 

 naeus, 1758 (according to Lindinger, 1936 : 148), by subsequent designation 

 of Lindinger. 



Amerling presented the scientific name, "Mytilococcus communis mihi" with 

 reference to illustrations of the scale covers but with no description of the coccid 

 itself. Mytilococcus Amerling has priority over Lepidosaplies Shinier, 1868, and 

 Mytilaspis Targioni-Tozzetti, 1868, and if this indication is sufficient to validate 

 publication of genus and species, has validity as well. Lindinger, 1936: 148, 

 1937 : 190, held this to be the case and substituted Mytilococcus for Lepidosaplies, 

 as did Silvestri, 1939: 803-811. However, most recent coccid workers (Ferris, 

 Takahashi, Balachowsky, Borchsenius) have continued to use Lepidosaplies for 

 this zoological unit. See under Lepidosaplies. 



Myxilecanium MacGillivray, 1921, The Coccidae, pp. 178, 492. 

 A lapsus for Myzolccanium Beccari. 



Myxolecanium Targioni-Tozzetti, 1877, Soc. Ent. Ital. Bui. 9 : 317. 

 A lapsus for Myzolecanium Beccari. 



Myzolccanium Beccari, 1877, Melesia [Genova] 1 (2) : 190-191; Tar- 

 gioni-Tozzetti, 1877, Soc. Ent, Ital. Bui. 9 : 317 [as Myxolecanium]. 

 type-species : Myzolecanium kioarae Beccari, 1877, by monotypy. 



Beccari's paper, which appeared earlier in the year than Targioni-Tozzetti's, 

 contained a precise description and figures of the genus and species. Thus his 

 names have nomenclatorial priority.
