The Chinese soft scale species in the genus Coccus Linnaeus, 1758 (Hemiptera: Coccomorpha: Coccidae) were studied. Coccus cambodiensis Takahashi and the Malaysian species C. cameronensis Takahashi are considered to be non-congeneric with Coccus hesperidum Linnaeus, 1758, the type species of Coccus, and are transferred to Prococcus Avasthi, 1993, as Prococcus cambodiensis (Takahashi, 1942), comb. n. and Prococcus cameronensis (Takahashi, 1952), comb. n. The generic diagnosis of Prococcus is revised. In the genus Coccus, two new species are described and illustrated based on adult females: Coccus nanningensis Cao Feng, sp. n. from Guangxi, China, on Ficus carica (Moraceae), and Coccus cephalotaxus Cao Feng, sp. n. from Shannxi, China, on Cephalotaxus sinensis (Taxaceae). Identification keys to separate adult females of Prococcus from Coccus, the 14 species of Coccus found in China, and all three species of Prococcus are provided.
研究了中国软蚧属（鳞翅目：蚧总科：蚧科）中的物种。柬埔寨软蚧和马来西亚软蚧被认为与软蚧属的模式种，即柑橘臀纹粉蚧，不是同属的，因此被归入 PrococcusAvasti, 1993，分别为 Prococcus cambodiensis（Takahashi, 1942），组合新属和 Prococcus cameronensis（Takahashi, 1952），组合新属。Prococcus 的属诊断进行了修订。在中国软蚧属中，根据雌性成虫描述并图示了两个新种：来自中国广西的麻疯树软蚧，Coccus nanningensis Cao Feng, sp. n.，寄生于榕属植物；以及来自中国陕西的三尖杉软蚧，Coccus cephalotaxus Cao Feng, sp. n.，寄生于三尖杉属植物。提供了Prococcus 与 Coccus 以及在中国发现的 14 种 Coccus 之间的雌性成虫的鉴别特征，以及所有三种 Prococcus 的鉴别特征。
