Revue de la Faculté des Sciences de l'Université d'Istanbul B 18: 91-164 [152] [nom. nud.; this post-1930 generic name was proposed tentatively for two named species presumably having similar characteristics in the adult stage, but no type species was selected at the time of publication; Morrison, H. & Morrison, E.R. 1966. An annotated list of generic names of the scale insects (Homoptera: Coccoidea). Miscellaneous Publication United States Department of Agriculture 1015: 1–206 (3) designated Margarodes tritici Bodenheimer, 1941, as type species; however, regardless of any zoological validity, the name appears to be deprived of status by the restrictions of Article 13 of the 1961 Zoological Code].
