Tekaspis Lindinger, 1957, Beitr. z. Ent, 7 : 552. 

 An emendation of Tecaspis Hall. 



Temnaspidiotus MacGillivray, 1921, The Coccidae, p. 387. 



type- species : Aspidiotus excisus Green, 1896, by original designation and 

 monotypy. 



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

 signed the name to synonymy with Aspidiotus Bouche. Ferris, 1938 : 43, agreed 

 with this view but, 1952a : 8, reviewed the question and decided that Temnaspidio- 

 tus should be separated from Aspidiotus. Balachowsky, 1956: 132, accepted 

 Temnaspidiotus as distinct in the Aspidiotina, Aspidiotini. 



Tenuiaspis MacGillivray, 1921, The Coccidae, p. 308. 



type-species: Chionaspis minuta Green, 1896, by original designation and 

 monotypy. 



The author described this genus in the Diaspidini. Ferris, 1937a : 6, accepted 

 it as a valid segregate from Chionaspis Signoret. Balachowsky, 1954e: 171-172, 

 placed it in his Diaspidina, group II, chionaspiform. 



Termitococcus Silvestri, 1901, Mus. di Zool. et Anat. Comp. Bol. [To- 

 rino Univ.] 16 (395) : 4. 



type-species : Termitococcus asper Silvestri, 1901, by subsequent designation 

 of Fernald, 1903b : 122. 



The author placed this genus originally in the Coccidae (str.) but, 1936 : 32, 34, 

 redescribed the genus and assigned it to the Margarodini. 



Tessarabolus Vayssiere, 1923, Ann. des Epiphyt. 9 : 427. 

 A lapsus for Tessarobelus Montrouzier. 



Tessarobelus Montrouzier, 1864, in Perroud and Montrouzier, Soc. 

 Linn, de Lyon, Ann. (n. s.) 11:246. 



type-species: Tessarobelus guerinii Montrouzier, 1864, by monotypy. 



This genus presumably assigns to the Margarodidae. Vayssiere, 1923a : 427, 

 placed the name as a synonym of Monophlebus Burmeister. 



Tetrura Lichtenstein, 1882, Wien. Ent. Ztg. 1: 124; 1882, Ent. 

 Monthly Mag. 18 : 275 ; 1882, Soc. Ent. de France Ann. (Bui. Ent.) 

 (ser. 6)2: lxxv ; 1882, Soc. Ent. Ital. Bui. 14 : 330. 



type-species : Tetrura rubi Lichtenstein, 1882 (non Coccus rubi Schrank, 

 1801), by monotypy. 



The status of this genus and its type-species is confusing. The author pub- 

 lished Tetrura, almost simultaneously in the serials cited. The name, appar- 

 ently, had been used in 1844 in Aves. The only species originally included was 

 misidentified as Coccus rubi Schrank, 1801. Cockerell, 1900b : 86, proposed that 

 this species be called rubi Lichtenstein, 1882. Lindinger, 1937: 197, placed T. 

 rubi Lichtenstein (non Schrank) as a synonym of Coccus comari Kunow, 1880, 

 but accepted Tetrura as a valid genus. Borchsenius, 1949 : 301, rejected this
