Remarks

• Systematics: Subfamily: Eulecaniinae. Until 1922 this genus has been credited by several authors to Crawford. Morrison & Morrison (1922) discussed the issue, showed that the genus cannot be referred to Crawford and credited it to Cockerell. Morrison & Morrison (1966), while discussing again the authorship, were less decisive, and proposed several alternatives. It is here concluded that the author is Maskell, because this case is similar to that of Aspidoproctus (ICZN, 1954a) and to several other generic names in the Coccoidea which are credited to the first author who published it.
• General Remarks: Definition and characters given by Morrison & Morrison (1922), Steinweden (1929) and by Hodgson (1994a).
