Meng, S., & Xing, J. 2022 Replacement of names for two armoured scale genera (Hemiptera: Coccomorpha: Diaspididae) due to homonymy. Zootaxa 5116 (2): 299–300

taxonomy

Notes: Two generic names in the family Diaspididae (Hemiptera: Coccomorpha) were discovered to be homonyms. We propose a replacement name for each of these genera, to bring the taxonomy of scale insects into accordance with the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN 1999).
