AN ANNOTATED LIST OF GENERIC NAMES OF THE COCCOIDEA 193 



and included in it yuccarum Cockerell and halophila Balachowsky. If a restudy 

 should confirm yuccarum as congeneric with arthrophyti, then Kchizotargionia 

 would stand as a synonym of Targaspidiotus. If, on the other hand, yuccarum 

 Cockerell were excluded, Schizotargionia might well care for the group of 

 palearctic species as suggested by Borchsenius, and Tarffdspidiotus, with type- 

 species yuccarum Cockerell, would include the Nearctic species. 



Targionia Signoret, 1869, Soc. Ent. de France Ann. (1869) (ser. 4) 

 8 : 862 ; 1869, (ser. 4) 9 : 99 ; 1870, (ser. 4) 10 : 105. 



type-species: Targionia nigra Signoret, 1869, by original indication and 

 monotypy. 



This genus did not meet with immediate acceptance. Comstock, 1883: 453, 

 rejected it as inseparable from Aspidiotus Bouche, and Cockerell, 1893d: 8, 

 treated it as a subgenus of the latter. However, Leonardi, 1900 : 343, considered 

 it valid, as have most subsequent workers, although the zoological concept of the 

 unit has not been clear. All sorts of unrelated species were referred to it over 

 the years by various authors. Ferris, 1943a, presented a detailed review of the 

 genus and restricted the included species to six definitely assigned, and two more 

 placed tentatively. Balachowsky, 1948b : 268, placed the genus in his 

 Targionina. 



Targionidea MacGillivray, 1921, The Coccidae, p. 393. 



type-species : Targionia (?) campylanthi Lindinger, 1911, by original 

 designation. 



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

 the name a synonym of Targionia Signoret, but Ferris, 1943a : 85. stated that 

 it was definitely not Targionia. 



Tecaspis Hall, 1946, Koy. Ent. Soc, London, Trans. 97 : 499, 536. 



type-species : Chionaspis (Phenacaspis) visci var. umtali Hall, 1929, by 

 original designation. 



The author placed this genus in the Diaspidini closest to Rolaspis Hall. Bala- 

 chowsky, 1954e: 369, assigned it to his Diaspidina, group II, chionaspiform, 

 but considered it doubtfully distinct from Rolaspis. 



Tectococcus Hempel, 1900, Rev. Mus. Paulista [Sao Paulo] 4 : 406. 



type-species : Tectococcus ovatus Hempel, 1900, by original designation and 

 monotypy. 



Ferris, 1957c : 88, redescribed the type-species and assigned the genus to the 

 Eriococcidae. Hoy, 1963, New Zeal. Dept. Sci. and Indus. Res. Bui. 150: 14, 

 confirmed this assignment. 



Tectopulvinaria Hempel, 1899, in Cockerell, Canad. Ent. 31: 331, 

 nomen nudum; 1900, Kev. Mus. Paulista [Sao Paulo] 4: 417, 482. 



type-species : Tectopulvinaria aloata Hempel, 1900, by original designation 

 and monotypy. 



The author placed this genus in a key to the genera of the Lecaniinae. It is 

 allied to Pulvinaria Targioni-Tozzetti.
