SYNTYPE : 1 (895 [1.09]), Pinus . Coccus ( Aspidiotus ) flavus ( Hartig, 1839 ) (change of combination— Ratzeburg, 1844: 195 ). Diaspide flavus ( Hartig, 1839 ) (change of combination— Signoret, 1868: 853 ). Dynaspidiotus abietis ( Schrank, 1776 ) (senior synonym— Fernald, 1903: 251 , “ Aspidiotus abietis (Schr.) ”). Valid Aspidiotus pini Hartig, 1839: 642 , ♀ (junior synonym— Danzig & Kerzhner, 1984: 102 ). SYNTYPES : 8 (893 [1.07]; 894 [1.08]; 379 [1.10]), Pinus . Specimens. One pointed on pin 893 and three on two points on pin 894 following the “ Aspidiotus pini m. ” labels. A single pointed adult male on pin 895 and four of unknown sex on a single point on pin 379, following the “ flavus m. ” label. Specimens 893-895 were collected from pine needles on June 15, 1836 in Hasenheide , Berlin , Germany . Specimen 379 was collected on May 15, 1836 in Tiergarten , Berlin , Germany . Remarks. We suspect that specimen 379 has been incorrectly placed within the collection as it is in clear conflict with the description for A. flavus (see under Aspidiotus pini Hartig, 1839 ).
