AN" ANNOTATED LIST OF GENERIC NAMES OF THE COCCOIDEA 187 



Sphaerolecanium Leonardi, 1908, (non Sulc, 1908), Portici K. Scuola 

 Super, di Agr. Lab. Zool. Gen. e Agr. Bol. 3 : 180-181. 



type-species : Chermes emerici Planchon, 1864, by monotypy. 



Silvestri, in Leonardi, 1920: 312, said that the name of this genus must be 

 considered a synonym of Eulecanium Cockerell and that of the type-species, a 

 synonym of Eulecanium coryli or variety. 



Spheralecanium Chorbadzhiev, 1939, Izv. B'lgarsk. Ent. Druzh. for 

 1938 [Sofia] 10:89. 



A lapsus for Sphaerolecanium Leonardi. 



Spilococcus Ferris, 1950, Atlas of the Scale Insects of North America 

 (ser. 5) [v. 5] : 22, 219. 



type-species : Dactylopius gutierreziae Cockerell, 1896, by original 

 designation. 



The author established this genus as a segregate from Pseudococcus Westwood. 

 Subsequent coccid workers have accepted it as valid. 



Spinaspidiotus MacGillivray, 1921, The Coccidae, pp. 390, 428. 



type-species : Aspidiotus fissidens Lindinger, 1909, by original designation. 



The author placed this genus in the Aspidiotini. Recent coccid workers have 

 accepted it as valid as regards the type-species, but have rejected the additional 

 inclusions. Balachowsky, 1958b: 218, placed it in the Aspidiotini, Aspidiotina, 

 close to Schizaspis Cockerell and Robinson and with some affinity to Hemioerlesia 

 Cockerell. 



Spinococcus Borchsenius; Kiritchenko, 1931, Inst. Zashch. Rast. 

 Plant Protect. [Leningrad] (1930) 7: 314, nomen nudum; Kirit- 

 chenko, 1936, Rev. d'Ent. de PURSS (1935) 26: 156; Borchsenius, 

 1948, Akad. Nauk SSSR Dok. (n.s.) 61: 953; Borchsenius, 1949, 

 Akad. Nauk SSSR Zool. Inst. (n.s. 38) 7: 203-204. 



type-species : Acanthococcus marruoii Kiritchenko, 1936, by designation 

 of Borchsenius, 1949 : 203-204. 



Kiritchenko, 1931 : 314, presented Spinococcus marruoii Kiritchenko with col- 

 lection and biological notes but no descriptive information. In 1936a : 156-158, 

 the same species appeared as Acanthococcus marruoii n. sp., with full descrip- 

 tion and figures. Borchsenius, 1948a: 953, noted the genus as: ''Spinococcus 

 Kir., 1930 (= Acanthococcus Kir. 1936)" in his revision of the genus Phenacoccus 

 Cockerell, and, 1949: 203-204, validated Spinococcus by designating Acantho- 

 coccus marruoii Kiritchenko as type-species. Balachowsky, 1953: 282, placed 

 Spinococcus in synonymy with Synancanthococcus Morrison, but Danzig, 1960: 

 178, rejected this action and considered the two genera distinct. Recent workers 

 have accepted the validity of Spinococcus.
