ASTEROLECANIIDAE
Russellaspis conspicuum
(Brain)
.
The specific name is here changed to the Latin feminine
conspicua
in the combination
Russellaspis conspicua
(Brain)
.
Bambusaspis delicatus
(Green)
.
This is changed here to
Bambusapsis delicata
(Green).
Asterolecanium grandis
(Newstead)
.
Newstead first named the species correctly as
Pollinia grandis
Newstead. The
name was later changed correctly to
Asterolecanium grande
(Newstead)
, a neuter name, but the present combination
A. grandis
(feminine) is now revised to
A. grande
(Newstead)
, used also by
Russell (1941)
when almost all specific names in the genus
Asterolecanium
were correctly neuter.
