replacement name that is unjustified
- Talla
von Heyden
1860: 90.
Type species: Coccus quercus Linnaeus
by subsequent designation
MorrisMo1966:192
.
junior synonym
Notes: The type as suggested by Morrison and Morrison (1966) is Lecanium quercus Reamur, 1860 = Coccus quercus Linnaeus, 1758 of current usage. Morrison and Morrison state "Lindinger, 1933a: 143, placed this as a valid genus, with Kermes Boitard a synonym of the name, but this opinion has not been accepted by most coccid workers. The critical point in the problem is the character of the Latreille, 1798: 113, use of the name Kermes. Our opinion is the he presented it as a group commmon name, which did not invalidate its later usage by Boitard, 1828, in a technical sense. We place Talla von Heyden, 1860, in synonymy with Kermes Boitard, 1828.

Remarks
- Systematics: Baer & Kosztarab (1985) treat this genus in a discussion of the phylogeny of the Nearctic Kermesidae.
The family contains about one hundred valid species in ten genera. (Spodek, et al., 2012)
- Structure: All Kermes species share the following traits in the adult female: presence of (i) a submarginal band of tubular ducts on venter; (ii) multilocular pores ventrally on the abdominal segments, and (iii) a three-segmented labium with 14 setose setae. Our study suggests that the many species currently included in Kermes have a very varied morphology making a generic diagnosis difficult, indicating that further work needs to be done, particularly those described from post-reproductive females. (Spodek & Ben-Dov, 2014)
- Biology: The majority of species of the family are considered to be restricted to Quercus species (Fagaceae).. Individuals develop mainly in bark crevices and on small twigs and branches. (Ben-Dov et al. 2012)
