Kirilshenkella and related genera of mealybugs from Russia and neighbouring countries (Homoptera: Coccinea: Pseudococcidae)

E.M. Danzig

Abstract. The taxonomy of the genera Kiritshenkella Borchs., Balanococcus Will., Neotrionymus Borchs., Miscanthicoccus Tak. and Adelosoma Borchs. is discussed and a key to them is proposed. An annotated list of 12 species of these genera and keys to species of Balanococcus and Neotrionymus are presented. N. cynodontis (Kir.) is redescribed and illustrated for the first time. Lectitypes are designated for 3 nominal species. The following new synonymies are established: Balanococcus scirpi (Green) = darvasicus (Nurmamatov), Kiritshenkella sacchari (Green) = stataria Borchs., = shirakensis Hadž., Neotrionymus cynodontis (Kir.) = mediterraneus (Kozár), Trionymus placatus (Borchs.) = Dysmicoccus balticus Koteja & Łagovska. In addition, 3 species of the genus Trionymus Berg not included in the recent revision of this genus (Danzing, 1997) are considered, one of them, T. dagestanicus sp. n. described as new.
