Title: Ortheziola of Asia with the descriptions of three new species, and world distribution of the genus (Homoptera: Coccoidea, Ortheziidae)

Authors: Kozár, F. and Zs. Konczné Benedicty

Authors' address: Plant Protection Institute, Hungarian Academy of Sciences, H-1525 Budapest P. O. Box 102, Hungary, E-mail: h2405koz@ella.hu

Abstract: Three new Ortheziola species (O. peregovitsi, O. vietnamiensis, O. matskasii) are described from Asia. By these descriptions the number of the known Ortheziola species of the World increases to 23. Distribution records and zoogeographical considerations are given. The new species represent a link between the Palaearctic, Oriental and Ethiopian Regions. The records gave a new insight into the species richness of this genus in the World.

Abstract: The present paper contains the revisions of the genus Wernya and the closely related two new genera, Hiroshia gen. n. and Chiropsestis gen. n. and the genus Takapsestis (s.l.) A new subgenus of Takapsestis, Neotakatogaria subgen. n., six new species (Wernya sechuana, W. witti, W. karsholti, W. griseochrysa, Chiropsestis rubrocinerea and Hiroshia albinigra spp. n.), and three new subspecies (Wernya thailandica pallescens, Takapsestis (T.) wilemaniella continentalis and T. (T.) wilemaniella plumbeata sspp. n.) are described. The taxonomic stati of certain taxa are revised, Neogaurena Roepke, 1944, is interpreted as a subgenus of Takapsestis, Wernya baenzigeri Yoshimoto, 1996, is considered as a species distinct from W. solena (Swinhoe, 1894); Takapsestis (Neogaurena) sumatrensis (Gaede, 1930) is downgraded to a subspecies of T. (N.) semiobsoleta (Warren, 1915). Three new synonymies are established, Takapsestis (T.) nepalensis Yoshimoto, 1992 and T. (T.) harutai Yoshimoto, 1994, are synonyms of T. (T.) bifasciata (Hampson, 1895); while T. (T.) griseata (Warren, 1915) is conspecific with T. (T.) orbicularis (Moore, 1888). With 89 figures.
