Genaparlatoria pseudaspidiotus (Lindinger, 1905) (Diaspididae: Genaparlatoria)

Nomenclatural History

Parlatoria pseudaspidiotus Lindinger 1905a: 131. Type data: SINGAPORE: on Vanda hookeriana, 07/06/1905. Syntypes, female, Type depository: Hamburg: Zoologisches Institut und Zoologisches Museum, Universitat von Hamburg, Germany; accepted valid name Notes: Lindinger (1905a) misspelled the generic name as Parlatorea when describing this species.
Parlatoria mangiferae Marlatt 1908c: 28-29. Type data: UNITED STATES: Washington D.C., on Mangifera indica, 28/01/1908, by J.G. Sanders. Holotype, female, junior synonym (discovered by Lindin1908e, 241). Illustr.
Parlatorea mangiferae; Lindinger 1908e: 241. misspelling of genus name
Leucaspis mangiferae (Marlatt, 1908); Wester 1920: 64. change of combination
Genaparlatoria mangiferae (Marlatt, 1908); MacGillivray 1921: 255. change of combination
Genaparlatoria pseudaspidiotus (Lindinger, 1905); MacGillivray 1921: 255. change of combination
Aonidia pseudaspidiotus (Lindinger, 1905); Cockerell 1922a: 149. change of combination
Parlatoria pseudaspidiotus Lindinger, 1905; Ferris 1936: 21. change of combination Notes: Ferris's treatment of Parlatoria pseudaspidiotus is not really a change of combination since the species was described in Parlatoria. However, for the purposes of this database each unique spelling combination of a species must be included and so Ferris's usage is here because Lindinger used Parlatorea as the original spelling of the genus.

Remarks

Systematics: Adult female recognizable by the broadly oval body and rounded sclerotized head and thorax, tapering posteriorly to a rounded, but less sclerotized pygidium except for marginal areas (Williams & Watson, 1988). This species has been treated by most authors as a species of Parlatoria. Molecular results have shown that it is only distantly related to that genus (Andersen et al. (2010) Morse & Normark (2006)). Normark, et al. (2019) transferred it to Genaparlatoria based on the phylogenetic data that it is nested will within that genus.
Structure: Scale brown, with white waxy extension at one side (Ferris, 1937).
Economic Importance: Miller & Davidson (1990) list this insect as a pest.
General Remarks: Detailed description and illustration by Balachowsky (1953g).
