Entomological Review 86 (2), 197-227
Abstract: The second part of the publication contains a key to 40 species from the former USSR and a review of the 25 species not covered by the first part of the revision (Danzig, 2003); these are mostly species with an incomplete set of the cerarii. Species of the Ph. piceae (Loew) group are not included in this paper because they are dealt with in special publication (Danzig, 2004). New data are reported on Ph. hordei (Lind.), Ph. pumilus Kir., Ph. strigosus Borchs., and Ph. perilustris Borchs., which are reviewed in the first part of the revision. The descriptions and figures of all the species discussed in this paper are given. Lectotypes are designated for 6 nominal species. The following new synonymies are ascertained: Phenacoccus setiger Borchs. (= Ph. gobicus Danzig, = kaplini Danzig); Ph. abditus Borchs. (= Ph. bicerarius Borchs.); Ph. incertus Kir. (= Euripersia caulicola Terezn.); Ph. phenacoccoides Kir. (= Ph. cynodontis Borchs., = eugeniae Baz., = bazarovi Ben-Dov); Ph. pumilus Kir. (= Ph. pseudopumilus Hadz.), synn. n. Two new species are described: Phenacoccus kochiae sp. n. and Ph. kazakhstanicus sp. n. Phenacoccus stipae Nurm. is not included in the review because it has been transferred to the genus Euripersia Borchs. The distinctions between the genera Euripersia and Phenacoccus are conventional and will be discussed in the subsequent publication.
