Insecta Mundi
Argentinoeme Bruch (191 1) remained as a monotypic genus until the finding of the material herein described. The type species of the genus, A. schulzi Bruch (191 1) from Argentina, is characterized by 12-segmented antennae, cylindrical pronotum with granulations at its base, femora narrowing only toward their bases, and divided eyes. Argentinoeme pseudobscura sp. nov., with 11-segmented antennae and appendiculate distal segment, constitutes the second known species of this genus.

Two new species of Kermesidae, Kermes orientalis Liu and Shi and K. flavus Liu, are designated. Morphological characters of post-reproductive and teneral young adult females, as well as the first instars (crawlers) are described and illustrated. A key to the young adult females of the genus from China is given.

Taxonomic Studies Of The Genus Tetraleurodes (Homoptera: Aleyrodidae), Sueo Nakahara
Insecta Mundi
Ten new species of Tetraleurodes (bireflexa, caulicola, chiuela, confusa, dorsirugosa, mexicana, perseae, pseudacaciae, quercicola, tuberculosa) are described and four previously known species are redescribed. The acaciae group consisting of seven species is proposed, and a key to the acaciae group and 12 North American species is provided. In addition, herberti Penny is synonymized with acaciae (Quaintance), nudus Sampson and Drews is synonymized with fici Quaintance and Baker, and stanfordi (Bemis) is synonymized with perileuca (Cockerell). Aleurotrachelus cacaorum Bondar is reassigned to Tetraleurodes, and T. papilliferus Sampson and Drews is reassigned to Aleurotrachelus.
