AN ANNOTATED LIST OF GENERIC NAME'S OF THE COCCOIDEA 161 



Praecocaspis Ferris, 1942, Atlas of the Scale Insects of North Amer- 

 ica (ser. 4) [v. 4] : SIV-410. 



type-species : Praecocaspis diversa Ferris, 1942, by original designation and 

 monotypy. 



The author placed this genus in the Diaspidinae, Diaspidini. No subsequent 

 mention of the type-species has been found. 



Priococcus Fulmek, 1943, Ent. Beihef te aus Berlin-Dahlem 10 : 32, 60. 

 A lapsus for Eriococcus Targioni-Tozzetti. 



Proceraspis MacGillivray, 1921, The Coccidae, p. 312. 



type-species: Chionaspis cinnamomi Green, 1905, by original designation 

 and monotypy. 



The author placed this genus in the Diaspidini. Lindinger, 1937 : 193, ac- 

 cepted it as valid. Ferris, 1937a : 6, considered it valid as separated from 

 Chionaspis Signoret. Balachowsky, 1954e : 172, assigned it to his Diaspidina, 

 group II, chionaspiform. 



Prodigiaspis Ferris, 1941, Atlas of the Scale Insects of North Amer- 

 ica (ser. 3) [v. 3] : SIII-312. 



type-species : Prodigiaspis septunx Ferris, 1941, by original designation and 

 monotypy. 



The author placed this genus in the Diaspidini but noted resemblances to 

 Poliaspoides MacGillivray. Balachowsky, 1954e : 23, assigned it to the 

 Lepidosaphedina. 



Promargarodes Silvestri, 1938, Notes d'Ent, Chionoise 5 : 21. 



type-species : Promargarodes sinensis Silvestri, 1938, by original designa- 

 tion and monotypy. 



The author placed this genus in the Margarodinae, closest to Neomargarodes 

 Green. 



Prontaspis MacGillivray, 1921, The Coccidae, p. 311. 



type-species : Chionaspis citri Comstock, 1883, by original designation. 

 This name is currently placed as a synonym of Unaspis MacGillivray. 



Prosopophora Douglas, 1892, Ent. Monthly Mag. 28 : 207. 



type-species : Prosopophora dendrooii Douglas, 1892, by monotypy. 



The author noted an inability to assign this genus to relationship or position 

 in any group of the Coccidae (str.). Cockerell, 1896i : 50, considered it not 

 separable from Lecaniodiaspis Targioni-Tozzetti. Green, 1901i : 293, accepted 

 this synonymy and subsequent workers have concurred until Borchsenius, 

 1960d: 223, restored the genus to valid status. He described five new species, 

 and suggested transfer of four previously described species to it.
