Poliaspoides MacGillivray, 1921 (Diaspididae)

Nomenclatural History

• Poliaspoides MacGillivray 1921: 309. by subsequent designation BenDovTa1974:45 . accepted valid name (discovered by BenDovTa1974: 46) Notes: The genus Natalaspis was established by MacGillivray (1921) for an unnamed species, described by Brain (1920) as Chionaspis simplex Green, var. A few lines further in the same page, MacGillivray introduced the genus Poliaspoides with Chionaspis simplex Green, 1899a as its type species. Ferris (1938b) as the first reviser decided that Poliaspoides should be considered the valid name since the type species was clearly delimited and treated Natalaspis as a junior synonym. Later, Ben-Dov & Takagi (1974) decided that Natalaspis was the valid name, but this designation does not take percedence over Ferris (1938b). For more information see the notes under Natalaspis.
• Natalaspis MacGillivray 1921: 309. Type species: Chionaspis simplex Green by subsequent designation Ferris1938b:71 . junior synonym Notes: Poliaspoides was regarded as an objective synonym of Natalaspis by Ben-Dov & Takagi (1974). Brain's (1920) unnamed species Chionaspis simplex Green, var. was named Odonaspis simplex Green, var. formosana by Takahashi (1930). Ben-Dov & Takagi (1974) concluded that Odonaspis simplex formosana Takahashi is conspecific and identical with Chionaspis simplex Green, var. (sensu Brain, 1920) and designated the former as the type species of Natalaspis. They also regarded Natalaspis as the valid name and Poliaspoides as the junior synonym but Ferris (1938b) as the first reviser considered Poliaspoides to be the available name.

Remarks

• Systematics: Subfamily DIASPIDINAE Tribe LEPIDOSAPHIDINI (Normark, et al., 2019) Lindinger (1937) incorrectly considered Natalaspis and Poliaspoides to be junior synonyms of Dycryptaspis.
