“…Note. The type locality was specified by Cockerell (1902) as "Umquahumbi Valley, S. Africa" with Claude Fuller as the collector. We have been unable to locate Umquahumbi except that we believe it was a tributary of the Illovo River (Russell, 1903).…”

“…Of the above, about 100 species of scale insects have been introduced to South Africa, but recent collections suggest that there are many indigenous species waiting to be described. Native gallinducing scale insects are rare in South Africa, where the only described species inducing galls are several species of Asterolecaniidae that induce pit galls on their host plants (Giliomee & Kozár, 2008), a diaspidid, Discodiaspis gallamformans Ben-Dov, galling the twigs of Zygophyllum (Ben-Dov, 1974), the eriococcid Calycicoccus merwei Brain that induces complex galls on the leaves of Apodytes (Gullan et al, 2006), two species of mealybug, Diversicrus longulum De Lotto on Elytropappus (De Lotto, 1971) and Grewiacoccus gregalis Brain which induces pouch galls on the leaves of Grewia (Brain, 1918;De Lotto, 1969), and one species of soft scale, Cissococcus fulleri Cockerell (Cockerell, 1902;Hodgson, 1994).…”

“…Cissococcus fulleri was described by Cockerell (1902) (Drummond & Wild, 1963)] and the genus Cissococcus has remained monotypic until now. Originally it was placed in the Eriococcidae by Cockerell (1902) but later was considered to be a soft scale (Coccidae) and placed in its own subfamily, the Cissococcinae (Brain, 1918;Ferris, 1920;Hodgson, 1994). Little is known about its relationships with its host plant, except for the details given by Brain (1918), which were reviewed by Beardsley (1997).…”

The gall-inducing genus Cissococcus Cockerell is revised to include two species. The family placement of Cissococcus has been uncertain, but characters of the first-instar nymph and adult male clearly show that Cissococcus is a soft scale insect (Coccidae) and is therefore the only member of the Coccidae known to induce a complex covering gall. All stages of the type species, C. fulleri Cockerell, are described and illustrated, plus the adult and third-instar female and first-instar nymph of a new, closely-related species, C. braini Hodgson & Millar sp. n. Both species are known only from wild vines in the southeast and C. fulleri also in the northeast of South Africa, but each induces a unique gall and each appears to be restricted to a different species of Rhoicissus (Vitaceae). The galls of each species are described and figured, and gall induction in the Coccidae is briefly discussed.

A phylogenetic analysis based on adult macropterous male characters was undertaken to look at the relationships of these species with other Coccoidea. It is concluded that Lecanaclerda is closely related to Aclerda, Kwazulaclerda is closely related to Rhodesaclerda, Kwazulaclerda and Rhodesaclerda belong to Aclerdidae, and Aclerdidae should be split into two subfamilies, Rhodesaclerdinae Hodgson & Millar (to include Rhodesaclerda and Kwazulaclerda) and Aclerdinae Cockerell (to include Aclerda, Lecanaclerda and Nipponaclerda). These two subfamilies are diagnosed and a key is given for the separation of the genera now included in Aclerdidae. The relationships of Aclerdidae and Coccidae are discussed.
