“…In general, the opposite tendencies (splitting vs. integration) of the families take place in scale insect and aphid modern systematics. Thus, some modern coccidologists (for example, Hodgson 2014) accept till 33 extant families of scale insects in contrast to the 15-19 "large" traditionally accepted families (Danzig 1986, Danzig and Gavrilov-Zimin 2014), whereas the last taxonomic catalogue of aphids (Remaudière and Remaudière 1997) places all recent "true aphids" in the single family Aphididae, in contrast to the acceptance of 6-13 true aphid families by some other authors in addition to two families of "not true aphids", Adelgidae and Phylloxeridae (Börner 1952, Shaposhnikov 1964, Heie 1987, Heie and Wegierek 2009a, b). These opposite tendencies in the systematics of scale insects and aphids reflect, to our mind, the generally higher biological diversity of scale insects, which demonstrate more patterns of morphological, cytogenetic, physiological, and ecological specialization than aphids.…”

“…These opposite tendencies in the systematics of scale insects and aphids reflect, to our mind, the generally higher biological diversity of scale insects, which demonstrate more patterns of morphological, cytogenetic, physiological, and ecological specialization than aphids. Here, for further discussions we shall follow the system and nomenclature of Paraneoptera accepted recently in Gavrilov-Zimin and Danzig (2012) and Danzig and Gavrilov-Zimin (2014):…”

Parallel trends of chromosomal evolution in Aphidococca are discussed, based on the catalogue of chromosomal numbers and genetic systems of scale insects by Gavrilov (2007) and the new catalogue for aphids provided in the present paper. To date chromosome numbers have been reported for 482 species of scale insects and for 1039 species of aphids, thus respectively comprising about 6% and 24% of the total number of species. Such characters as low modal numbers of chromosomes, heterochromatinization of part of chromosomes, production of only two sperm instead of four from each primary spermatocyte, physiological sex determination, "larval" meiosis, wide distribution of parthenogenesis and chromosomal races are considered as a result of homologous parallel changes of the initial genotype of Aphidococca ancestors. From a cytogenetic point of view, these characters separate Aphidococca from all other groups of Paraneoptera insects and in this sense can be considered as additional taxonomic characters. In contrast to available paleontological data the authors doubt that Coccinea with their very diverse (and partly primitive) genetic systems may have originated later then Aphidinea with their very specialised and unified genetic system.

“…On the other hand, the presence of the fields of wax glands, well-studied on large material in all archaic groups of Homoptera as well as in many younger groups of this order (see, for example, Šulc 1929 ; Emeljanov 2009 ; Danzig and Gavrilov-Zimin 2014 , 2015 ; Gavrilov-Zimin 2018 and others), is undoubtedly an example of a good synapomorphic character, which is being not in direct connection with the adaptation to feeding on plant sup. The reliable proof of such phylogenetic assumption is the total absence of the homologous character (i.e., the fields of wax glands) in the numerous families of sap-sucking true bugs ( Heteroptera ) and thrips ( Thysanoptera ).…”

“…It is subdivided into five recent suborders: Aphidinea (about 6,000 species), Coccinea (8,000 species), Psyllinea (3,500 species), Aleyrodinea (1,500 species) and Cicadinea (47,000 species). More detailed information about general classification and nomenclature of these taxonomic groups can be found, for example, in the monographs of Danzig and Gavrilov-Zimin (2014 : 36) or Gavrilov-Zimin (2018 : 21). There are also numerous publications addressing the phylogeny of these organisms.…”

The paper briefly discusses the most impressive examples of the Nikolai Vavilov’s “Law of homologous series” in the evolution of one of the largest animal groups, homopterous insects, which comprise about 65,000 recent species in the world fauna. Different taxonomic and phylogenetic characters (morpho-anatomical, cytogenetic, reproductive and others) are considered at the taxonomic ranks of the order, suborder, superfamily and family.

Two mealybug species (Hemiptera: Coccomorpha: Pseudococcidae), Pelionella osakaensis sp. n. and P. manifecta (Borchsenius, 1949), are described and illustrated based on adult female specimens collected in Japan, on the Japanese mugwort Artemisia indica Willd. var. maximowiczii (Nakai) H. Hara (Asteraceae). These are the first records of the occurrence of Pelionella species in East Asia. The new species is similar to P. grassiana (Goux, 1989) and P. proeminens (Goux, 1990), but differs in lacking multilocular pores with double loculi rings on the venter and in possessing dorsal cerarii and a circulus. The Japanese population of P. manifecta is morphologically slightly different from the Azerbaijani and French populations in lacking large-type oral-collar tubular ducts associated with clusters formed by multilocular pores and oral-collar ducts on ventral abdominal segments III and IV. A modified key to species of the genus Pelionella Kaydan, 2015, is provided.
