Coccus ulmi (Coccidae: Coccus)

Coccus (Draparnaldi) ulmi Bory de Saint-Vincent 1798: 77. unidentified species Notes: ulmi Bory de Saint-Vincent, 1798: 77, Coccus (Draparnaldi). This name is a primary junior homonym of Coccus ulmi Linnaeus, 1758, and Coccus ulmi Modeer, 1778. Current status: The genus Draparnaldi has never been recognised in scale insect literature. The species is regarded here as unrecognisable although Bory de Saint-Vincent described the species as resembling Coccus persicae = Parthenolecanium persicae (Fabricius). Fernald (1903: 326) wrongly changed the rank of Draparnaldi to specific level as Coccus draparnaldi (Williams & Ben-Dov, 2009: 47).
