Echinogalla Takagi, 2001 (Beesoniidae)

Nomenclatural History

• Echinogalla Takagi 2001: 67-68. Type species: Echinogalla pustulata Takagi by monotypy and original designation . accepted valid name

Remarks

• Systematics: Takagi (2001) originally placed this genus in Eriococcidae. It was not listed in the Eriococcidae catalogue by Miller & Gimpel (2000). Gullan et al. (2004) assigned the genus to Beesoniidae. Takagi (2001) compared Echinogalla with Gallacoccus because there was no other genus adequate for making a comparison with it. In reality, Echinogalla differs greatly from Gallacoccus, especially in the 1st instar. It is possible that some features and characters of the 1st instar reflect peculiar behavioral traits (Takagi, 2001).
