AN ANNOTATED LIST OF GENERIC NAMES OF THE COCCOIDEA 137 



Obtusaspis MacGillivray, 1921, The Coccidae, p. 393. 



type-species: Aspidiotus rhizophilus Newstead, 1920, by original designa- 

 tion and nionotypy. 



The author placed this genus in the Diaspidinae, Aspidiotini. Balachowsky, 

 1958b, 207-209, 230, 249, accepted the genus as valid and assigned it to the 

 Aspidiotini, Aspidiotina. 



Ochyrocoris Menge, 1856, Progr. Petrischule Danzig, p. IT. 



type-species : Ochyrocoris electrina Menge, 1S56, by monotypy. 



Cockerell, 1896b : 326, stated that this is a fossil in amber, and probably an 

 Orthezia Bosc d' Antic. 



Octaspidiotus MacGillivray, 1921, The Coccidae, p. 387. 



type-spec:[es : Aspidiotus suoruoescens Maskell, 1892, by original designa- 

 tion. 



The author placed this genus in the Diaspidinae, Aspidiotini. Ferris, 1937c : 

 52, 55, accepted it as probably valid and, 1938a : SII-228, suggested that it might 

 consolidate with Dynaspidiotus Thiem and Gerneck. Lindinger, 1937: 191, said 

 " = Chi-ysomphalus." McKenzie, 1939 : 56, considered that it derived from a com- 

 mon phylogenetic stock with Chrysomphalus Ashmead. 



Octococcus Hall, 1939, Ent, Soc. South. Africa Jour. 2 : 93. 



type-species : Octococcus pentziae Hall, 1939, by original designation. 



The author placed this genus in the Pseudococcidae and noted resemblances to 

 Puto Signoret. Williams, 1958b : 6-8, corrected the description and considered 

 the genus valid. 



Odonaspis Leonardi, 1897, Riv. di Patol. Veg. (Xov. 1896-Feb. 1897) 

 5 : 284. 



type-species : Aspidiotus sec?-etus Cockerell, 1896, by monotypy. 



The author presented this as a new genus in a systematic table of genera of the 

 Aspidioti. Soon thereafter, in published comments on a letter received from 

 Cockerell regarding division of the genus Aspidiotus into subgenera, he noted 

 that Cockerell had proposed a subgenus, Dycryptaspis, with the same type-species 

 as Odonaspis Leonardi. Later, Leonardi, 1898b : 115, decided that Odonaspis was 

 preoccupied by Odontaspis Agassiz, 1835, in fishes, and substituted Spatheaspis. 

 Lindinger, 1937: 184-185, agreed that Odonaspis was preoccupied because he 

 considered that properly formed it should have been spelled Odontaspis, but held 

 that its valid replacement was Dycryptaspis Cockerell. Other coccid workers 

 (Ferris, Balachowsky, Borchsenius, Takagi) rejected Lindinger's conclusions and 

 accepted Odonaspis as a valid genus assigned to the Odonaspidini. 



Odontaspis Lindinger, 1937, Ent, Jahrb. 46 : 191. 



The author considered Odonaspis Leonardi improperly formed and substituted 

 this spelling which is a homonym of Odontaspis Agassiz, 1835,
