Pulvinatus Signoret, 1875, Soc. Ent. de France Ann. (ser. 5) 5 : 16. 



From the context in which this name occurs, we suppose that it is a lapsus for 

 Nidularia Targioni-Tozzetti of authors. No species was associated with it so 

 it has no standing. 



Pulvinella Hempel, 1899, Canacl. Ent. 31 : 132. 



type-species : Pulvinaria pulchella Hempel, 1899, by original designation 

 and monotypy. 



The describer presented this as a subgenus of Pulvinaria Targioni-Tozzetti 

 allied to Pcndularia da Fonseca, in the Lecaniinae. 



Pusillaspis Lindinger, 1906, Jahrb. der Hamburg. AViss. Anst. (1905) 

 23 Beih. 3 : 27. 



type-species : Leucaspis pusilla Low, 1883, by subsequent designation of 

 MacGillivray, 1921 : 262. 



This name was proposed for an uncharacterized subdivision of a "Sektion" of 

 the genus Leucaspis Targioni-Tozzetti. It was established as a definite subgenus 

 with pusilla Low designated as type by MacGillivray. Ferris, 1936a : 23-24 and 

 Balachowsky, 1953g: 860, considered the type-species to be a Leucaspis. 



Puto Signoret, 1876, Soc. Ent. de France Ann. (1875) (ser. 5) 5 : 394. 



type-species : Putonia antennata Signoret, 1875, by substitution of Puto for 

 Putonia Signoret. 



The author proposed this name as a replacement for his Putonia, 1S75. 



Putonia Signoret, 1875, Soc. Ent. de France Ann. (ser. 5) 5:341. 



type-species : Putonia antennata Signoret, 1875, by monotypy. 



This name was preoccupied by Putofiia Stal, 1872, in the Heteroptera, and was 

 replaced by Puto Signoret, 1876. 



Pygalataspis Ferris, 1921, Bui. Ent. Res. 12 : 218. 



type-species : Pygalataspis miscanthi Ferris, 1921, by original designation 

 and monotypy. 



The author placed this genus in the Diaspis O. G. Costa series of the Diaspi- 

 didae, but noted certain characters that closely resembled characters of Odonas- 

 pis Leonardi. 



Pygidiaspis MacGillivray, 1921, The Coccidae, p. 392. 



type-species : Aspidiotus (Targionia) ccdri Green, 1915, by original designa- 

 tion and monotypy. 



Lindinger, 1937 : 194, placed this name of an aspidiotine genus as a synonym of 

 Targionia Signoret. Ferris, 1937c: 55, considered it a valid genus with some 

 connection with Loranthaspis Cockerell and Bueker, and 1943a : 85, stated that it 

 was definitely not a Targionia.
