AN ANNOTATED LIST OF GENERIC NAMES OF THE COCCOIDEA 191 



Syngenaspis Sulc, 1895, [Prague] K. Bohmisch. Gesell. der Wiss. 

 Sitzberg. (1895) pt. 2, no. 49 : 2. 



type-species: Syngenaspis parlatoriae Sulc, 1895, by original designation 

 and monotypy. 



The author presented this genus as closely allied to Parlatoria Targioni-Toz- 

 zetti. Subsequent workers have recognized and emphasized this close relation- 

 ship. McKenzie, 1945 : 85-86, accepted the genus, restricted to the type-species, 

 as valid. Balachowsky, 1953g: 820-821, concurred in this opinion and placed 

 it in his Parlatorini, Parlatorina. 



Syphaerococcus Lindinger, 1958, Beitr. z. Ent. 8 : 371. 

 A lapsus for Sphaerococcus Maskell. 



Syrmococcus Ferris, 1953, Atlas of the Scale Insects of North Amer- 

 ica 6 : 472. 



type-species: Pseudantonina spirapuncta Lobdell, 1930, by original desig- 

 nation. 



The author placed this genus in the Pseudococcidae, in many respects close to 

 Discococcus Ferris but not allied to Pseudantonina Green. 



Tachardia Blanchard, 1886, in Signoret, Soc. Ent. de France Ann. 

 [Bui. Ent.] (ser.6) 6:lxii. 



type- species : Coccus lacca Kerr, 1782, by substitution of Tachardia for 

 Carteria Signoret. 



This name was offered as a substitute for Carteria Signoret, 1874, preoccupied 

 by use in the Protozoa in 1866. The lac insect appeared in literature as Tachar- 

 dia lacca for more than 40 years subsequently. The priority of the use of 

 Laccifer Oken over Tachardia for this insect, noted first by Kirkaldy, 1906, re- 

 ceived little notice until Cockerell, 1924, repeated and emphasized the fact. 

 Chamberlin, 1925, formally accepted the substitution of Laccifer for Tachardia, 

 together with the change of family name to Lacciferidae, and most coccid 

 workers since that date have done the same. 



Tachardielia Cockerell, 1901, Entomologist 34 : 249. 



type-species : Tachardia cornuta Cockerell, 1894, by original designation. 



The author presented this as a subgenus of Tachardia Blanchard. Chamber- 

 lin, 1923: 174, raised it to generic status and divided it into two subgenera. 

 Balachowsky, 1950 : 9, placed it in the Laccif erini, Laccif erinina. 



Tachardina Cockerell, 1901, Entomologist 34 : 249. 



type-species : Tachardia aloida Cockerell, 1901, by original designation and 

 monotypy. 



The author presented this as a subgenus of Tachardia Blanchard. Chamber- 

 lin, 1923: 199, accepted it as of generic rank and separated it into two sub- 

 genera. Balachowsky, 1950 : 9, placed it in the Tachardini, Tachardinina.
