Protancepaspis Borchsenius and Bustshik, 1959, Ent. Obozr. 38: 160. 



type-species: Protancepaspis bidentata Borchsenius and Bustshik. 1959, by 

 original designation and monotypy. 



The authors placed this genus in the Phoenicococcidae, close to Ancepaspis 

 Ferris. 



Protargionia Leonardi, 1911, Portici R. Scuola Super, di Agr., Lab. 

 Zool. Gen. e Agr. Bol. 5 : 280. 



type-species : Protargionia lurreae Leonardi, 1911, by monotypy. 



The author suggested that this genus agreed in general characters with 

 Targionia Signoret, but subsequent workers placed it in the Diaspidini. 

 Lindinger, 1932f : 204. and 1937 : 193, assigned it to synonymy with Pseudo- 

 parlatoria Cockerell. Borchsenius and Williams, 1963, Brit. Mus. (Xat. Hist.) 

 Ent. Bui. 13 : 366. regarded the genus as distinct but with striking similarity 

 to Diaspis Costa and plainly a member of the Diaspidini. 



Protartonia Weber, 1935, Biol, der Tiere Deut 38 (31) : 328. 



A lapsus for Protortonia Townsend. 



Proteriococcus Borchsenius, 1960, Ent. Obozr. 39 : 916. 



type-species : Proteriococcus acutispinus Borchsenius, I960, by original 

 designation. 



The author assigned this genus to the Eriococcidae, close to Acanthococcus 

 Signoret. Hoy, 1963, New Zeal. Dept. Sci. and Indus. Res. Bui. 150 : 12, accepted 

 it in the Eriococcidae. 



Proticerya Cockerell, 1895, Psyche (sup.) 7 : 15. 



type-species : Icerya rilcyi Cockerell, 1895, by original designation and 

 monotypy. 



The author presented this as a subgenus of lecrya Signoret. Morrison, 192S : 

 220, placed it in synonymy with Icerya Signoret. 



Protodiaspis Cockerell, 1898, Ann. and Mag. Xat, Hist, (ser. T) 1: 

 428. 



type-species: Protodiaspis parvulus Cockerell, 1898, by original designation 

 and monotypy. 



The author placed this genus in the Diaspinae and suggested that it connected 

 the Diaspinae with the Coccinae (str.). Ferris, 1919a : 46, accepted the genus as 

 valid in the Diaspidini. Balachowsky, 1953g: 842, considered that its affinities 

 with the Leucaspidina were indisputable. See Brown and McKenzie, 1962, for 

 di jcussion of the morphological diversity of the genus and its interpretation. 



Protopulvinaria Cockerell, 1894, Trinidad Field Xat. Club Jour. 1 :
