Simple rules on adjectival endings in zoological nomenclature and their use in scale insect names (Hemiptera: Sternorrhyncha: Coccoidea), with some corrections to combinations in common use.

چکیده
We give some simple rules on Latin grammar to help scale insect systematists to apply the correct adjectival gender endings to species names. We list some common errors that have occurred when species names have either been proposed with a wrong gender ending or when they have been transferred from one genus to another. We also correct the gender endings to several species names in a few families.

Latin abbreviations and words used in scale insect literature (Hemiptera: Sternorrhyncha: Coccoidea).
Latin abbreviations and words have been used in the zoological literature since Linnaeus (1758), although some are now rare but were in common usage in the 18th and 19th centuries. The following list of Latin abbreviations and words is prepared to help students of scale insects who are not acquainted with Latin and those who may be just beginning to learn about the study of scale insects with i...
متن کاملScale insect genus-group names and their families (Hemiptera: Sternorrhyncha: Coccoidea).
Genus names of the scale insects (Hemiptera: Coccoidea) are listed with their current families. The list includes all generic names that are currently valid with synonyms, unjustified emendations, homonyms, nomia nuda and misspellings. The list has been compiled from many sources as discussed in the introduction. This is the first list to be prepared in recent years of all generic names and it ...
متن کاملFamily-group names in the scale insects (Hemiptera: Sternorrhyncha: Coccoidea)--a supplement.
Williams (1969) published a list of the family-group names in the Coccoidea (scale insects) recognised at that time. The present paper supplements this earlier list and includes all nominal genera that have had family-group names based on them, including those in the earlier paper, in case it is not readily available to some workers. Nominal genera and their family-group names are listed alphab...
متن کاملThe case for using the infraorder Coccomorpha above the superfamily Coccoidea for the scale insects (Hemiptera: Sternorrhyncha).
The order Hemiptera was formerly divided into two suborders, Heteroptera and Homoptera. The suborder Homoptera was also divided into two convenient groups, the Auchenorrhyncha and the Sternorrhyncha, the latter comprising the superfamilies Aphidoidea, Psylloidea, and Aleyrodoidea, plus the scale insects in the superfamily Coccoidea. Until about the mid-20th century, most workers on scale insect...
متن کاملA facultative association between Plebeia droryana (Friese, 1900) (Hymenoptera: Apidae: Meliponini) and a wax scale insect, Ceroplastes janeirensis (Hemiptera: Coccoidea: Coccidae).
Ants and bees (Hymenoptera) are frequently associated with scale insects (Hemiptera: Coccoidea) and other Sternorrhyncha in a mutualistic relationship. Associations with ants are best known, and they tend to clean, protect and even transport these insects in exchange for honeydew (Way, 1963). Studies between coccoids and bees are less common, although in some regions of Europe the associations ...
