Ungulaspis MacGillivray, 1921, The Coccidae, p. 274. 



type-species : Lepidosaphes ungulata Green, 1905, by original designation 

 and monotypy. 



The author placed this genus in the Lepidosaphini. Ferris, 1937a : 6, consid- 

 ered its generic status indeterminate but Balachowsky, 1954e: 23, accepted the 

 genus, and assigned it to his Lepidosaphedina. 



Urococcus Lindinger, 1937, Ent. Jahrb. 46 : 192, 197. 

 A lapsus for Ourococcus Fuller. 



Variaspis Lindinger, 1932, Konowia 11 : 186. 



type-species : Protodiaspis lagunae Ferris, 1921, by original designation and 

 monotypy. 



Ferris, 1937a : 3, 6, placed this name as a synonym of Protodiaspis Cockerell. 



Varicaspis MacGillivray, 1921, The Coccidae, p. 390. 



type-species : Aspidiotus fiorineides Newstead, 1920, by original designation 

 and monotypy. 



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

 il = Aspidiotus Bouche." Ferris, 1937e: 52, listed the genus with its type-species 

 without comment. 



Velataspis Ferris, 1937, Atlas of the Scale Insects of North America 

 (ser.l) [v. 1] : SI-131. 



type-species : Scooinaspis dentata Hoke, 1921, by original designation. 



The author placed this genus in the Diaspidini. Balachowsky, 1954e : 91, 

 assigned it to the Lepidosaphedina and included among its species, serrifrons 

 Leonardi, type-species of Scooinaspis MacGillivray, 1921. If this placement is 

 confirmed, Velataspis will fall into synonymy with Scooinaspis. 



Versiculaspis MacGillivray, 1921, The Coccidae, p. 312. 



type-species : Chionaspis (Dinaspis) diosmae Brain, 1920, by original desig- 

 nation and monotypy. 



The author placed this genus in the Diaspidini. Ferris, 1938b : 58, considered 

 it valid as to separation from Chionaspis Signoret. Hall, 1946a: 499. accepted 

 it. Balachowsky, 1954e : 171, assigned it to his Diaspidina, group II, 

 chionaspiform. 



Villigera Karsch, 1877, Revision der Gallmiicken, p. 16. 



type-species : Villigera frauenfeldi Karsch, 1877, by original designation 

 and monotypy. 



The type-species was first described in considerable detail and figured under 

 the name of "eine Cecidomyia" by von Frauenfeld, 1859 : 247. From the Karsch 

 discussion, it appears that the new genus and species were based wholly on the 

 original Frauenfeld description and figure. A study of these shows that the 

 insect represented is quite certainly the male of a species of Drosicha Walker.
