Newsteadia Green, 1902, Ent. Monthly Mag. 38 : 285. 



ttpe-species : Coccus floccosus De Geer. 1778. by original designation and 

 monotypy. 



This name replaced Douglasia Green. See Douglasia for details. Morrison. 

 1925. placed Newsteadia in the Ortheziinae. which he elevated to family rank. 

 Orrheziidae. in 1952. 



Newsteadiella MacGillivrav. 1921. The Coceidae. pp. 71. 75. 



ttpe-species : Iccrya formicarum Xewstead, 1897. by monotypy. 



Rao, 1951 : 40. 54, on the basis of examination of type and supplementary speci- 

 mens, concluded that the type-species is a normal Tcerya rather widely distributed 

 in India, and placed the name in synonymy with Iccrya Signoret. 



Nicholiella Ferris. 1941, Atlas of the Scale Insects of North America 

 (ser.3) [v.3]:SIH-298. 



ttpe-species: Nicholiella bumeliae Ferris. 1941, by original designation and 

 monotypy. 



The author placed this genus in the Diaspidini near Fissuraspis Ferris and 

 PeUiculaspis Ferris. Brown. 1960:163. 165. 168. noted that the chromosome 

 number of 8 in the type-species was suggestive of the lecanoid genetic system. 



Niclularia Lindinger, 1957, Beitr. z. Ent. 7 : 549. 

 A lapsus for Nidularia Targioni-Tozzetti. 



Nidularia Targioni-Tozzetti, 1868. (separate) Soe. Ital. di Sci. Nat. 

 Atti 11 : 34; 1869, 11 : 727 : Signoret. 1875. Soc. Ent. de France Ann. 

 (ser. 5) 5 : 17. 



type-species : Coccus pulvinatus Planchon, 1864, hy subsequent restriction 

 of Signoret, 1875. 



The author established this genus with a brief descriptive note and three asso- 

 ciated species. Signoret, I.e., restricted the genus to pulvinatus, the second of 

 these species, and it stood unquestioned as type-species of Nidularia for nearly 

 60 years. Lindinger. 1933a: 107-108. asserted that the first species named 

 by Targioni-Tozzetti, the species currently called Gossyparia spuria (Modeer), 

 must be accepted as type-species, and Nidularia must replace both Gossyparia 

 Signoret and Eriococcus Targioni-Tozzetti of current usage. For the complex 

 that had been known in literature as Nidularia, he proposed to substitute the 

 name Qucrccticoccus. We believe that the Signoret. 1875, restriction of Xidu- 

 laria constituted an effective type-species establishment and that Lindinger's 

 subsequent changes were not legitimate. On the basis of Marchal's redescription 

 of the type-species, 1908: 259. it appears that Nidularia can assign close to 

 Kermes Boitard. 



Nietnera Green, 1922, The Coceidae of Ceylon Part V, p. 451. 



type-species : Nietnera pundaluoya Green, 1922. by original designation and 



monotypy. 



The author placed rbis genus in the Monophlebinae allied to Walkeriana 

 Signoret. Morrison, 1928: 129, assigned it to group 1 <»f tin- Moirophlebmi and 



£gest$d a possible closeness r<> Monophlebidus Morrison and Perissopneumon 

 Newstead.
