Mealybugs of the genera Peliococcus and Peliococcopsis from Russia and neighbouring countries (Homoptera: Coccinea: Pseudococcidae)

E.M. Danzig

Abstract. The taxonomy of the genera Peliococcus Borchs. and Peliococcopsis Borchs is described. Keys to species and descriptions and illustrations of most species are given. Three species are described as new: Peliococcus rosae sp. n. (Crimea and Hungary), P. loculatus sp. n. (W Caucasus) and P. latitubulatus sp. n. (Armebia, Uzbekistan). Lectotypes are designated for 13 nominal species. The following new synonymies are established: Peliococcus balteatus (Green) = venustus (Green) = saratogensis (Rau); P. kimmericus (Kir.) = mesasiaticus Borchs. & Kozarzh. = pseudozillae Borchs. = bitubulatus Borchs. = xerophilus Baz.; P. tritubulatus (Kir.) = darvasicus Nurm. & Baz.; P. turanicus (Kir.) = perfidiosus Borchs. = terrestris Borchs. = unispinus Borchs. & Ter-Gr.; P. daganae (Bod.) = armeniacus Borchs.; Peliococcopsis priesneri (Laing) = caucasicus (Borchs.); Phenacoccus hordei (LIndeman) = Ph. slavonicus Laing = Peliococcus unitubulatus Borchs. & Ter-Gr.
