Ben-Dov & Matile-Ferrero (1989a) discussed the synonymy of Tetrura with Coccura. Danzig & Gavrilov-Zimin, 2014, considered the montypic genus Calyptococcus as a junior synonym of Coccura because its type speies, Calyptococcus was placed here under synonymy with Coccura suwakoensis. This last species was used as a type for the monotypic genus Rosanococcus, but this genus was synonymised with Coccura by Takahashi (1958).
