In the past, various authors have placed many species in genera that are now understood to be restricted to other regions of the world. Thus, in Africa, species of soft scale (Hemiptera: Sternorrhyncha: Coccomorpha: Coccidae) with this problem are those in Ceronema Maskell, a genus probably restricted to Australia; Ceroplastodes Cockerell, probably restricted to the New World; and Inglisia Maskell, which is restricted to New Zealand. The placement of these species is reviewed here. Four of the known Ceronema species are placed in three new monotypic genera, Neoceronema gen. nov., Illovococcus gen. nov. and Bugandacoccus gen. nov., as Neoceronema africanum (Macfie) comb. nov., N. brachystegiae (Hall) comb. nov., Illovococcus mobilis (Brain) comb. nov. and Bugandacoccus gowdeyi (Newstead) comb. nov.; Ceroplastodes ritchiei Laing and C. zavatarii Bellio are transferred to Drepanococcus Williams Watson, as D. ritchiei (Laing) comb. nov. and D. zavattarii (Bellio), comb. nov., and Inglisia grevilliae Hall, I. pluvialis Hodgson and I. theobromae Newstead are transferred to Cryptinglisia Cockerell as C. grevilliae (Hall) comb. nov., C. pluvialis (Hodgson) comb. nov. and C. theobromae (Newstead) comb. nov. Keys are provided to all Drepanococcus and Cryptinglisia species, and all the African species discussed are illustrated. In addition, another new genus of African Coccidae is described, Testudovestis gen. nov., to take a new species somewhat similar to Eucalymnatus Cockerell: T. africana spec. nov. In addition, a new species of Coccus L.: Coccus moorei, spec. nov., and a new species of mealybug (Heliococcus tinglei spec. nov., Pseudococcidae), are described, both from mainland Africa. The lecanodiaspid Lecanodiaspis zygophylli Hodgson is also recorded from Nigeria for the first time.
过去，许多作者将许多种软蚧（半翅目：缨翅目：蚧总科：蚧科）归入现在被认为仅限于世界其他地区的属中。因此，在非洲，具有这种问题的软蚧种属于 Ceronema 属，该属可能仅限于澳大利亚；Ceroplastodes 属，可能仅限于新世界；以及 Inglisia 属，仅限于新西兰。本文对这些物种的归属进行了综述。将四个已知的 Ceronema 种归入三个新的单型属中，即 Neoceronema 属、Illovococcus 属和 Bugandacoccus 属，分别为 Neoceronema africanum (Macfie) comb. nov.、N. brachystegiae (Hall) comb. nov.、Illovococcus mobilis (Brain) comb. nov. 和 Bugandacoccus gowdeyi (Newstead) comb. nov.；将 Ceroplastodes ritchiei Laing 和 C. zavatarii Bellio 转移到 Drepanococcus Williams Watson 中，分别为 D. ritchiei (Laing) comb. nov. 和 D. zavattarii (Bellio) comb. nov.，并将 Inglisia grevilliae Hall、I. pluvialis Hodgson 和 I. theobromae Newstead 转移到 Cryptinglisia Cockerell 中，分别为 C. grevilliae (Hall) comb. nov.、C. pluvialis (Hodgson) comb. nov. 和 C. theobromae (Newstead) comb. nov.。提供了所有 Drepanococcus 和 Cryptinglisia 物种的关键特征，并对讨论的所有非洲物种进行了说明。此外，还描述了非洲蚧总科的另一个新属，Testudovestis 属，以容纳一种与 Eucalymnatus Cockerell 有些相似的新种：T. africana spec. nov.。此外，还描述了一种新的角蜡蚧属的蜡蚧：Coccus moorei，spec. nov.，以及一种新的粉蚧（伪角蚧科：Heliococcus tinglei spec. nov.），均来自非洲大陆。Lecanodiaspid 属的 Lecanodiaspis zygophylli Hodgson 也首次从尼日利亚记录到。
