Notes: Coccus mesembryanthemi: supposed to be source for C. [Aspidiotus] hederae but no such name appears in paper. [Note from Yair Ben-Dov: "Coccus mesmbryanthemi Vall., n. sp. - family Coccidae. For almost 150 years this paper was erroneously supposed to present the original description of Aspidiotus hederae Vallot, 1829 - family Diaspididae. Ben-Dov & Matile-Ferrero (1999) have shown that Vallot (1829) published only one name Coccus mesembryanthemi. See Ben-Dov & Matile-Ferrero (1999) for a detailed discussion on this topic."]
