Taxonomy of Puto (Putoidae) View in CoL View at ENA and Ceroputo (Pseudococcidae) and transfer of some Puto species to Ceroputo
The scored states of the diagnostic features of all species studied based on type specimens or other specimens are listed in Table 1. Included in Table 1 are also some species of Phenacoccus , and the type species of Ceroputo , C. pilosellae . Two species, Puto avitus (Menge) and P. trivenosus (Germar & Berendt) , are known only from descriptions of fossil insects, and we can offer no further information on them here. Puto brunitarsus (Signoret) cannot be discussed because original material is lost ( Ben-Dov & Matile-Ferrero, 1995). Puto konoi Takahashi is left in the genus Puto from its description only without seeing specimens, although it needs to be assessed to determine whether it belongs to Puto . Material of P. orthezioides (Cockerell) is represented by a third-instar female type specimen that has three sensilla on each surface of each trochanter, a pair of basal spurs on each claw, elongate oral collar ducts on the frons, numerous conical setae in the cerarii and a wide circulus. Based on these characteristics we conclude that it belongs in Puto . Species for which we suggest new or confirm previous taxonomic and nomenclatural changes, in this section and in Table 1, are: Puto asteri (Takahashi) , P. erigeroneus (Kanda) , P. graminis Danzig P. jarudensis Tang, P. m i m i c u s McKenzie, P. nulliporus McKenzie , P. pini Danzig and P. vaccinii Danzig. We regard all the other species previously assigned to Puto to be included in the family Putoidae .
In Table 2 View TABLE 2 , we list all species previously assigned to Puto together with their assignment based on our studies. As a result of our study, we recognise 47 extant and two fossil species of Puto and six species of Ceroputo . Below we provide revised synonymy lists and notes on the morphological features of species for which we either have additional information or suggest recombinations or include additional synonyms. We do not cite all the type data or type depositories, which are available in ScaleNet. For a few Puto species, we have additional data and these comments are provided in the section below on Puto .
