Pseudoripersia Cockerell, 1899, 111. Nat. Hist, Survey Bui. 5 : 392. 



type-species : Eriococcus turgipes Maskell, 1893, by monotypy. 



The author established this as a subgenus of Ripersia Signoret and subse- 

 quently raised it to generic rank. Morrison and Morrison, 1922 : 51, redefined the 

 genus and redescribed the type-species. It is assigned to the Pseudococcidae.

Pseudotargionia Lindinger, 1912, Die Schildlause, pp. 14, 50, 386. 



type-species : Aonidia glandulosa Newstead, 1911, by monotypy. 



The author established this aspidiotine genus without characterization, placing 

 it in his Parlatoreae group of the Diaspinae and listing it with the valid species 

 at the end of the book. He, 1932f : 199, called attention to its incorrect citation 

 as a subgenus in Supplement 5 of the Fernald Catalogue. Ferris, 1937c : 52, 55, 

 regarded the genus as valid, an opinion confirmed by Balachowsky, 1948b : 269, 

 who assigned it to the Pseudoaonidina and, 1951 : 676, defined the genus and 

 differentiated it from the closely allied Pseudaonidia Cockerell.

 tion and monotypy.
