Current status: La Chenaye-Desbois applied this name to the “Graine de Pologne ” or the “Cochenille du Nord”. The name tinctorius was used by some pre-Linnaeus 1758 authors as Coccus tinctorius radicum , more importantly by Breyn [Breynius], and this trinomen was listed in synonymy by Linnaeus (1758) under Coccus polonicus Linnaeus ; for works by Breyn see Williams (2007). Lindinger (1954: 615) listed La Chenaye-

Desbois’ binomen among names applied to Coccionella polonica (now Porphyrophora polonica (Linnaeus) (Family Margarodidae ).
