Remarks
- Systematics: Subfamily: Pseudococcinae (Choi & Lee) Danzig & Gavrilov-Zimin (2015) proposed several generic changes in the mealybug classification including placing most species of Chorizococcus McKenzie, 1960 and Spilococcus Ferris, 1950 in the older genus Atrococcus Goux, 1941. They also considered Allotrionymus Takahashi, 1958 and Vryburgia De Lotto, 1967 to be junior synonyms of Atrococcus. Examination of phylogenies using molecular and morphological characters (Hardy et al. 2008 & Kaydan et al. 2015) or molecular characters alone (Downie & Gullan 2004) do not agree with the above hypotheses. Therfore, we are maintaining these as separate genera.
