Notes.

As explained in the introduction, the transfer of Takahashia citricola Kuwana, 1909, to Pulvinaria necessitates a replacement name for the junior homonym Pulvinaria citricola Kuwana, 1914. A previously unjustified replacement name Pulvinaria nipponica was proposed by Lindinger (1933) for Pulvinaria citricola Kuwana, 1914, and this earlier name satisfies the provision of article 11 and the requirement of the article 13 (13.1.3.) of The International Code of Zoological Nomenclature ( ICZN 1999). Thus, its’ status is resurrected as the replacement name for Pulvinaria citricola Kuwana, 1914 (nec Kuwana, 1909) in accordance to articles 23 (23.3.5.) and 60 (60.1. and 60.2.) of the ICZN.
