DISTRIBUTION: Oriental: India [Ramakr1919, LambdiKo1973].

GENERAL REMARKS: Description and illustration of adult female given by Lambdin & Kosztarab (1973).

STRUCTURE: Female test highly convex; smooth, dorsal carina represented at most by a series of small tubercles; transverse carina absent. Male test elliptical; median carina prominent along with 7-8 transverse ridges (Lambdin & Kosztarab, 1973).

SYSTEMATICS: The binomen Anomalococcus hirsutus was published twice, as a Manuscript Name credited to Green, by Ramakrishna Ayyar (1924, 1926) both of which are Nomina Nuda. Ramakrishna Ayyar (1930) provided several characters distinguishing the former from A. indicus, and therefore under Article 12 of the ICZN, A. hirsutus became an available name, that should be credited to Ramakrishna Ayyar (1930).

STRUCTURE: These coccids attack the young branchlets ... causing them to swell out into gouty excrescences, irregularly rounded, up to an inch in length and one-eighth of an inch in diameter. These thickened twigs are hollow, containing a row of gall chambers, each separated from the other. The adult female rests in the centre, upon an oval depression or scar, through which there is sometimes an aperture; the outer surface of the gall mass marked with tubercles corresponding with the depressions inside the gall chambers. Adult female reddish brown, semi globular, wrinkled, with the abdominal segments reduced to a point at the apex; legs and antennae aborted (Froggatt, 1921b).

SYSTEMATICS: Lecanodiaspis was established by Targioni Tozzetti (1869: 261). Signoret (1870a: 272) first published the misspelling Lecaniodiaspis, whereas on page 285 he used the correct spelling Lecanodiaspis. Most subsequent authors used, until the late 1960's, the misspelled name Lecaniodiaspis, as listed here: Ashmead (1891: 100), Cockerell (1893h: 76), Cockerell (1893h: 76), Fernald (1903b: 54), Newstead (1911: 100), Froggatt (1915: 760), Lawson (1917: 169), Brain (1920: 115), MacGillivray (1921: 187), Hall (1926a: 29), Balachowsky (1934d: 148), Bodenheimer (1935: 260), Green (1937: 287), Ferris (1937: 6), Lizer y Trelles (1938: 348), Takahashi (1950: 69), De Lotto (1955: 269), Ferris (1955a: 44), Borchsenius (1959a: 841), Borchsenius (1960d: 233), and Munting & Giliomee (1967: 102). Morrison & Morrison (1966: 24,105) discussed the erroneous usage of the misspelled generic name, and re-introduced the name Lecanodiaspis. Borchsenius (1959a) established the family Lecanodiaspididae (type-genus Lecanodiaspis Targioni Tozzetti, 1869), while misspelling both the genus and family names, Lecaniodiaspis and Lecaniodiaspididae. Howell & Kosztarab (1972) divided Lecanodiaspis into four species groups, namely, eucalypti (which includes 21 species), africana (includes 7 species), quercus (includes 8 species) and the prosopidis group with 14 species.

GENERAL REMARKS: Description and illustration of adult female by Howell & Kosztarab (1972). Description and illustration of first-instar nymph by Williams & Kosztarab (1970) (as L. celtidis and L. prosopidis.

SYSTEMATICS: Williams & Kosztarab (1970) - based on a study of the first-instar nymphs - found distinguishing characters between L. celtidis, L. aescula, L. prosopidis, L. pruinosa, L. radiata and L. tessellata and retained them as distinct species. However, Howell & Kosztarab (1972) concluded that the adult females of the above-mentioned six species are so similar morphologically and regarded all of them as synonyms of L. prosopidis.

KEYS: Howell & Kosztarab 1972: 155 (female) [World]; Williams & Kosztarab 1970: 14, 16 (first-instar nymph) [World].
