Remarks

• Systematics: Tang (1991:200) described the species Physokermes shanxiensis, and the name was also used by him on pages 202-203, 376 (of the Chinese text) and in the caption of Figure 51. However, on page 245 (in the key in English to species of Euleaniina) was printed the name Physokermes taiyuanensisn. Tang did not describe any scale insect under the same Physokermes taiyuanensisn, therefore, the latter name is regarded as a misspelling ofthe name Physokermes shanxiensis.
• General Remarks: Good description and illustration of the adult female given by Tang (1991).
