The status of the genus Lecanium Burmeister has been discussed at great length by various authors, but was finally clarified when Lecanium Burmeister, type species Coccus hesperidum Linnaeus, was placed on the Oficial Index of Rejected and Invalid Generic Names in Zoology with the name number 2155 under the plenary powers of the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature, Opinion 1303. The genus Sphaerolecanium Leonardi, 1908a, was erected in July, 1908 with Chermes emerici Planchon as the type species. Leonardi's generic name was preoccupied by Sphaerolecanium Sulc (described in February, 1908, with type species Coccus prunastri Fonscolombe) (see Hodgson, 1994a). Silvestri (in Leonardi, 1920: 312) suggested that Sphaerolecanium Leonardi must be considered a synonym of Eulecanium and that Chermes emerici was a synonym of E. coryli now E. tiliae. Hodgson (1994a: 546) studied four slides labelled Chermes emerici, which were considered "probably Leonardi's original specimens", but could not confirm their synonymy with E. tiliae. Until the exact status of L. emerici will be established, Sphaerolecanium Leonardi is considered a synonym of Eulecanium.
Structure: In life, body of adult female usually becoming highly convex; some species brightly coloured. Not producing an ovisac; eggs held in a cavity under body. Characteristics of slide-mounted adult female. Anal plates well developed, without discal setae. Preopercular pores present but not well differentiated from other dorsal simple pores. Antennae well developed, usually 6- or 7-segmented; legs well developed, tibia and tarsus fused; usually without tibio-tarsal articulatory sclerosis.. (Kondo, Gavrilov-Zimin, et al. 2022)
General Remarks: Definition and characters given by Borchsenius (1957), Hamon & Williams (1984), Kosztarab & Kozar (1988), Hodgson (1994a), Kosztarab (1996) and by Granara de Willink (1999).
