Acanthococcus salicis (Borchsenius, 1938) (Eriococcidae: Acanthococcus)

Nomenclatural History

• Eriococcus salicis Borchsenius 1938: 135-137. Type data: RUSSIA: Siberia, Guberoro, on Salix sp., 25/06/1934, by S.V. Prun. Lectotype, female, by subsequent designation (Danzig1980b,208). Type depository: St. Petersburg: Zoological Museum, Academy of Science, Russia; accepted valid name Illustr.
• Acanthococcus salicis (Borchsenius, 1938); Borchsenius 1949: 345. change of combination Illustr.
• Nidularia salicis (Borchsenius, 1938); Lindinger 1957: 544. change of combination
• Acanthococcus turanicus Matesova 1967: 1197. Type data: KAZAKHASTAN: Alma Ata Oblast, Chulac-Tau Ridge, Kzyl-Aus Gorge, on Salix wilhelmsiana, 09/06/1964, by G. Matesova. Holotype, female, by original designation Type depository: St. Petersburg: Zoological Museum, Academy of Science, Russia; junior synonym (discovered by GavrilKu2019, 215). Notes: 15 paratypes on 15 slides from Kazakhstan and Tadzhikistan in ZMAS; paratypes also in AAKA (Danzig, personal communication, 1996)
• Eriococcus salicicola Tang 1984b: 125. nomen nudum (discovered by TangHa1995, 489). Notes: Tang (1984b) used the name Eriococcus salicicola n. sp. and indicated that it occurred widely in Northwest China on willows. He indicated in the paper's introduction that the new species would be published in the future. We believe this species was described as Gossyparisa [sic] salicicola Borchsenius. This species should be attributed to Tang not Borchsenius.
• Gossyparia salicicola Tang in Tang & Li 1988: 72. junior synonym (discovered by TangHa1995, 595). Notes: In addition to treating this species as a junior synonym of Erioccus salicis Borchsenius, we believe that this the first time that Eriococcus salicicola Tang was described. It was previously mentioned in Tang (1984b), but because there was no description it is now a placed nomen nudum.
• Eriococcus turanicus (Matesova, 1967); Tang & Hao 1995: 450. Type depository: Paris: Museum National d'Histoire naturelle, France; change of combination
• Acanthococcus salicis (Borchsenius, 1938); Kozár 2009: 93. revived combination (previously published)

Remarks

• Systematics: Slide-mounted adult female with: enlarged setae elongate, slender, curved, sides concave basally, apices rounded, 2 or 3 sizes of setae, abundant on dorsum, several setae on segment 8 anterior of anal ring; anal lobes apparently with 4 setae; microtubular ducts short, with 2 sclerotized areas (Danzig, 1986a).
