AN ANNOTATED LIST OF GENERIC NAMES OF THE COCCOIDEA 141 



Oudablis Signoret, 1882, Soc. Ent. de France Ann. [Bui. Ent.] (1881) 

 (ser. 6)1: clvii. 



type-species : Coccus laurinus Boisduval, 1867 [emended to lauri by Sig- 

 noret, 1875b : 338] , by present designation. 



Signoret substituted this name for his Boisduvalia, 1875, preoccupied by Bois- 

 duvalia Signoret, 1868, in Diptera. The genus was based on the adult male 

 character of two pairs of terminal waxy tassels in contrast to the single pair found 

 in the males of Pseudococcus Westwood [Dactylopius of Signoret]. This charac- 

 teristic applied to both of the named included species, lauri and quadricaudata, 

 neither of which species have been recognized by modern European coccidologists. 

 On our present limited knowledge of the classification of adult male coccids, it 

 will assign to the Phenacoccus Cockerell series of genera rather than to the Pseu- 

 dococcus Westwood series, where both Boisduvalia and Oudablis are presently 

 assigned as synonyms. While Lindinger, 1912b : 360, has disposed of the orig- 

 inally included species by placing them as synonyms of Pseudococcus adonidum 

 (Linnaeus) and P. citri (Risso) respectively, the reported presence of 8-segmented 

 antennae does not necessarily bar them from the phenacoccine series, but does 

 raise the question of whether or not the males and females as described actually 

 belong together. There may be some chance to settle the question if these 

 particular specimens are still present in the Signoret Collection. 



Ourococcus Fuller, 1897, West. Austral. Bur. Agr. Jour. 4: 1346 

 (Notes on Coccidae, p. 10) ; 1899, Ent. Soc. London, Trans. (1899) 

 p. 452. 



type-species : Ourococcus eucalypti Fuller, 1897, by subsequent designation 

 in the Fernald Catalogue, 1903b : 88. 



Balachowsky, 1948b : 257, placed this genus in the Cylindrococcinae. Ferris, 

 1957b : 66, suggested the possibility that it might be included in the Eriococcidae. 

 Hoy, 1963, New Zeal. Dept. Sci. and Indus. Res. Bui. 150 : 12, assigned it to the 

 Eriococcidae tentatively. 



Ovaticoccus Kloet, 1944, Ent. Monthly Mag. 80 : 86. 



type-species : Coccus agavium Douglas, 1888, by substitution of Ovaticoccus 

 for Gymnococcus Douglas. 



The author proposed this name as a substitute for Gymnococcus, preoccupied 

 in Protozoa by Zopf , 1884. See under Gymnococcus. Ferris, 1957c : 88, referred 

 this genus to his Eriococcidae, an action accepted by Hoy, 1963, New Zeal. Dept. 

 Sci. and Indus. Res. Bui. 150 : 12. 



Ovatococcus Lindinger, 1958, Beitr. z. Ent. 8 : 368. 

 A misspelling or emendation of Ovaticoccus Kloet. 



Palaeococcus Cockerell, 1894, Canad. Ent. 26 : 36. 



type-species: Monoplileous fuscipennis Burmeister, 1835, by subsequent 

 designation of Cockerell, 1902q : 233. 



Cockerell proposed this name to replace Leachia Signoret, 1875, preoccupied 

 in Mollusca. Morrison, 1928: 128-129, placed this genus in the Monophlebini, 

 most closely related to Monophleooides Morrison.
