Takahashia Cockerell, 1896, Psyche (sup.) 7 : 20. 



type-species: Pulvinaria {Takahashia) japonica Cockerell, 1896, by original 

 designation and monotypy. 



The author presented this as a subgenus of Pulvinaria. Targioni-Tozzetti. 

 Steinweden, 1929 : 240-241, accepted it as a valid genus for the type-species, but 

 considered jaliscensis T. & W. Cockerell, 1902t, not congeneric. Lindinger, 

 1937 : 196, and Borchsenius, 1957 : 288, accepted the genus. 



Takahashiaspis Takagi, 1961, Insecta Matsumurana 24: 92, 94. 



type-species : Takahashiaspis macroporana Takagi, 1961. by original desig- 

 nation and monotypy. 



The proposer noted that this genus of Diaspidini is very dii-tinct although re- 

 lated to Neochionaspis Borchsenius, Contigaspis MacGillivray, Gadaspis Hall, 

 and Paragadaspis Kaussari and Balachowsky. 



Takahashicoccus Kanda, 1959, Kontyu 27 : 239. 



type-species : Heliococcus takahashii Kanda, 1935, by original designation 

 and monotypy. 



The author placed this genus in the Pseudococcidae, closely allied to Heliococ- 

 cus Sulc.

 1:90. 



type-species: Lecanium quercus Reaumur, 1860)=Coccws quercus Lin- 

 naeus, 1758 [Kermes quercus (L.) of current usage], by monotypy. 



Lindinger, 1933a: 143, placed this as a valid genus, with Kermes Boitard a 

 synonym of the name, but this opinion has not been accepted by most coccid 

 workers. The critical point in the problem is the character of the Latreille, 

 1798: 113, use of the name Kermes. Our opinion is that he presented it as a 

 group common name, which did not invalidate its later usage by Boitard, 1S2S, 

 in a technical sense. We place Talla von Hey den, 1860, in synonymy with 

 Kermes Boitard, 1828. 



Tallaspidiotus Balachowsky, 1958, Mus. Roy. du Congo Beige [Ter- 

 vuren] Ann. (n. s.) Sci. Zool. 4 : 249. 



A lapsus for Tollaspidiotus MacGillivray. 



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



type-species : Aspidiotus yuccarum Cockerell, 1898, by original designation. 



The author placed this genus in the Aspidiotini. Lindinger, 1937 : 197, and 

 Ferris, 1937c: 52, 56, considered the name a synonym of Targionia Signoret. 

 Borchsenius, 1952 : 263, rejected this synonymy and accepted the validity of the 

 genus but suggested the possible need to separate, as a new unit, the palearctic 

 species, a group morphologically close to each other and with similar host and 

 environmental relations. Balachowsky, 1951 : 644, noted the Ferris rejection of 

 Targaspidiotus but recognized the merit of a division of Targionia and proposed 

 the genus Schizotargionia corresponding in general concept to the MacGillivray 

 genus. However, he cited arthrophyti Archangelskaia as type-species of his genus
