AN ANNOTATED LIST OF GENERIC NAMES OF THE COCCOIDEA 157 



included it. Cockerell, 1893, Inst. Jamaica Jour. 1 : 373. stated that Planchonia 

 was a synonym of Asterolecanium Targioni-Tozzetti and this was accepted by 

 his contemporary workers with the exception of Maskell, 1894 : 94-95, and 1895a : 

 61, who insisted on the use of Planchonia because of his conviction that the name 

 Asterolecanium was inaptly descriptive of the genus. Russell, 1941, accepted 

 the synonymy of Planchonia with Asterolecanium. Bodenheimer, 1951: 328, 

 recognized the genus as valid and included in it the seven "Group TV" species 

 of the Russell monograph. Borchsenius, 1960d : 144, in his revision of the 

 Asterolecaniidae, accepted the validity of Planchonia with the same seven in- 

 cluded species.
