Type species: Selenocephalus disparatus Melichar, 1903. Diagnosis. Tambocerus can be distinguished by the following combination of characters: body robust, yellow with numerous small brown irregular spots; vertex slightly produced medially, with transverse ridges on anterior margin; male pygofer lobe serrate or with tooth- or spine-like process; connective Y-shaped with stem longer than arms; and aedeagal shaft with lateral margins serrated. Distribution. China, India, Sri Lanka, Pakistan. Notes. The tribal placement of Tambocerus has been controversial. Zhang & Webb (1996) placed the genus in the tribe Selenocephalini based on the fore margin of the head with transverse striations. It was transferred to the rather poorly characterized deltocephaline tribe Athysanini (Viraktamath, 2012). However, the recent phylogenomic analysis of Cao et al. (2022) consistently placed Tambocerus in together with the Afrotropical genus Odzalana Linnavuori (currently placed in Drabescini) and the Oriental genera Sychentia Wei & Webb (placed in Stegelytrini) and Orientus DeLong (placed in Athysanini) in a clade sister to a larger lineage of mostly Afrotropical genera (tribes Penthimiini in part, Bonaspeiini and Selenocephalini). Thus, the tribal placement of Tambocerus should be considered uncertain at present., Published as part of Yao, Binbin, Dietrich, Christopher H. & Xing, Jichun, 2022, Description of a new species of the leafhopper genus Tambocerus (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae: Deltocephalinae) from Guizhou, China, pp. 87-92 in Zootaxa 5169 (1) on page 88, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5169.1.8, http://zenodo.org/record/6911353, {"references":["Zhang, Y.

Genus Bambusaecoccus Meng & Xing gen. n. Type species: Bambusaecoccus maolanensis Meng & Xing sp. n., here designated. Generic diagnosis of adult female. Body broadly oval. Anal cleft deep, about 1/4‒1/5th of total body length. Stigmatic clefts present, deep, narrow marginally, but broadening away from margin, each cleft associated with about 20 dorsal stigmatic spines, with sclerotisation around inner margin, and in a small dorsal area. Dorsal derm membranous with numerous areolations. Dorsal setae short and sparse. Preopercular pores present in 2 groups, each group present antero-lateral to anal plates. Anal plates together quadrate, slightly pyriform, each plate with anterolateral margin slightly longer than posterolateral margin. Marginal setae apparently ventral, each short and spinose. Ventral tubular ducts present in a small group lateral to genital opening. Pregenital disc pores mostly each with 5‒8 loculi, present in a small group beneath posterior end of anal plates. Antennae small, each 7 segmented. Legs greatly reduced, each with only 3 segments visible on available material. Etymology. The name Bambusaecoccus is composed of the main part of the plant subfamily Bambusoideae on which the type species was collected, plus ‘ coccus ’, from the Greek word “ kokkos ” meaning “seed” or “scale insect”. Distribution. China. Remarks. The soft scale insect tribe Paralecaniini contains genera characterized by possession of a pair of eyespots on the dorsal surface of the head, situated some distance from the margin; and stigmatic clefts noticeably sunken and well sclerotized (Williams 1969). The tribe was revised by Hodgson (1994: 48), who listed four additional characteristics: “(i) lack of dorsal tubular ducts; (ii) restriction of ventral tubular ducts, if present, to a group on either side of genital opening; (iii) lack of pocket-like sclerotizations (except in Perilecanium); and (iv) restriction of pregenital disc-pores to segments immediately anterior to genital opening (when present)”. Bambusaecoccus possesses all of the above characteristics of the Paralecaniini: the adult females lack dorsal tubular ducts, and have a pair of eyespots on the dorsal surface of the head situated some distance from the margin; ventral tubular ducts are restricted to a small group on either side of the genital opening; and pregenital disc-pores are restricted to segments immediately anterior to the genital opening. Bambusaecoccus is similar to Takahashilecanium Kondo (in Kondo et al. 2005) in sharing the following character states: (i) stigmatic clefts present; (ii) pregenital disc-pores mostly each with 5 loculi; (iii) anal plates together pyriform; (iv) spiracular disc-pores present in broad bands between margin and spiracles; (v) preopercular pores present in two groups located laterad to anal plates; and (vi) pregenital disc pores forming a small group posterior to vulvar opening on each side of the anal cleft. Bambusaecoccus can be distinguished from the latter genus by (character states of Takahashilecanium in brackets): (i) stigmatic clefts each associated with about 20 dorsal stigmatic spines (each cleft containing only 3 stigmatic spines); (ii) ventral tubular ducts present in a small group on each side of genital opening (ventral tubular ducts absent); and (iii) legs and antennae reduced (legs and antennae well developed, although small relative to body size)., Published as part of Meng, Shitao & Xing, Jichun, 2022, Bambusaecoccus maolanensis, a new soft scale genus and species from China (Hemiptera: Coccomorpha: Coccidae), pp. 419-430 in Zootaxa 5168 (4) on pages 420-421, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5168.4.2, http://zenodo.org/record/6899711, {"references":["Williams, D.

The morphology of the adult female is similar to that of Takahashilecanium rotundum (Takahashi, 1951), sharing the following character states: (i) stigmatic clefts present; (ii) spiracular disc-pores present in broad bands between margin and spiracles; (iii) preopercular pores present in two groups located laterad to anal plates; (iv) anal ring with four pairs of setae; and (v) pregenital disc pores forming a small group posterior to vulvar opening on each side of the anal cleft. Bambusaecoccus maolanensis can be distinguished from Takahashilecanium by (character states of T. rotundum in brackets): (i) stigmatic clefts each associated with about 20 dorsal stigmatic spines (each cleft containing only 3 stigmatic spines); (ii) ventral tubular ducts present in a small group on each side of genital opening (ventral tubular ducts absent); and (iii) legs and antennae reduced (legs and antennae well developed); and (iv) presence of a group of 10‒15 setae on venter just mesad to each middle and hind leg (absent). Ecological note: Specimens of B. maolanensis were found under carton coverings made by the ant Crematogaster subnuda nigrosubnuda Özdikmen 2010 (Hymenoptera: Formicidae: Myrmicinae) on stem nodes of bamboo, Bambusa (Dendrocalamopsis) sp. (Poaceae: Bambusoideae) (Figs 4A–B). The ants were feeding on the honeydew eliminated by the scale insects and had built a tent-like carton cover to protect them from predators and parasites. Both female and male scales of various developmental stages were usually found together. Adult male Appearance in life (Figs 5A–D): Body yellowish-brown.
