SYSTEMATICS: Williams (1961a) erroneously synonymized Phenacoccus nudus Green (now in Heterococcus) with Ripersia pulveraria. Heterococcus graminicola Morrison and Heterococcus variabilis Schmutterer were erroneously synonymized with R. pulveraria by Williams (1963). The redescriptions and illustrations under the name Heterococcus pulverarius by Williams (1961a), McKenzie (1967) and Ter-Grigorian (1973) refer to H. nudus Green.The record of B. pulverarius from Brazil, (as T. pulverarius) by LePage (1938) is very likely a misidentification.
