junior synonym
Notes: Ben-Dov (1993) regarded Spermococcus Giard, 1894 as a subjective synonym of Lecanopsis. No specimens of Spermococcus fallax Giard, were available for study by Hodgson (1994) and none appear to have been collected since Giard collected the original material. Daniele Matile-Ferrero (personal communication to Yair Ben-Dov) has visited the type locality of Spermococcus fallax Giard, but was unable to find this interesting species. The status of Spermococcus Giard and its type species is highly problematical. According to Morrison & Morrison (1966), it is generally accepted as a synonym of Lecanopsis, with Lindinger (1935) considering it a synonym of L. radicumgraminis Fonscolombe. Borchsenius (1957: 111 treated it as a separate species, L. fallax (Giard). The fact that the insect is associated with Gramineae and ants and produces an ovisac is in agreement with the placement in Lecanopsis (or Paralecanopsis as defined here) but almost none of the characters given above really allow even the placement within the family Coccidae with any confidence. Its real identity will have to await more material. It would appear from the life history details given, that Giard found it on several occasions and so it is possible that it still survives around Wimereux, France. For a further discussion of Lecanopsis Targioni Tozzetti, see under Lecanopsis and Paralecanopsis.

incorrect synonymy
Notes: Ben-Dov (1980, 1993) regarded this genus as a subjective synonym of Lecanopsis Targioni Tozzetti. However, Hodgson (1994) considered Paralecanopsis a valid genus that would contain 16 species, previously placed in Lecanopsis.

Remarks
- Systematics: Subfamily: Eriopeltinae.
The identity of this genus was obscure since its establishement in 1868. For a detailed dicussion on its history refer to Morrison & Morrison (1966), Ben-Dov (1980), Hodgson (1994a) and to Fontana & Pellizzari (2001). In this catalogue the status of Lecanopsis is accepted and adopted according to the conclusions of Fontana & Pellizzari (2001) and Pellizzari & Fontana (2002).
