Williams, D.J. 2002 Scale insects (Hemiptera: Coccoidea) described by James Anderson M.D. of Madras.. Journal of Natural History 36: 237-246.

Notes: In a series of 14 letters to Sir Joseph Banks published in 1787 and 1788, James Anderson described the scale insect genus Chloeoon as new and eight new species of scale insects, all from India. these are Chloeoon choromandelensis, Coccus diacopeis, C. erion, C. koleos, C. microogenes, C. narcodes, C. oogenes and C. trichodes. The descriptions were spread among the letters and it was not until the 13th and 14th letters were published that most of the species were named. Although the true identity of the species may never be known, they are discussed here and all are regarded as being mealybugs of the family Pseudococcidae. The name Porphyrophora airae (Anderson), proposed for a species in the family Margarodidae, is invalid and the species should be known as P. indica (Green).
