Abstract. A database and catalog ofthe eriococcid and cerococcid scale insects ofthe
world is nearly complete and soon will be in press and placed on the World Wide Web.
Before this is done, new combinations and other taxonomic changes need to be validated
in print. This publication includes Neokaweckia Tang and Hao as a new synonym of
Eriococcus, proposal of Neotrichococcus as a new name for Trichococcus Borchsenius,
and new combinations in the family Eriococcidae; a new homonym and synonym in the
Cerococcidae; and transfer of Cancerococcus from Eriococcidae to Margarodidae.
