Hockiana Richard 1976: 661. Type species: Hockiana insolitus Richard by original designation . accepted valid name Notes: Although Richard did not specifically give a gender to the genus Hockiana, the choice of specific epithets indicates she regarded it as masculine (D.J. Williams, personal communication, November 15, 2000).

Systematics: Hockiana is similar to Parastictococcus in being without clusters of pentaloculars on body margin, anal opening with 2 plates, genital opening without spicules and spiracular atria with pentaloculars. The first instar female is similar to Parastictococcus by having large legs and by the tibia which is about the same length as the tarsus. The first instar female differs from Parastictococcus by the number and structure of the glands on the dorsal integument (Richard, 1976).
