Abstract: We have recently been informed by Prof. C. F. Kammerer that the generic name Discaspis (Wang et al. , 2001) was preoccupied by a wasp from Taiwan , China (Lin , 1988) . We therefore propose the generic name Lopadaspis to replace Discaspis Wang et al., 2001. Lopad ( Gr. ) means flat tray.

摘要： 最近,C. F. Kammerer 教授来信告知, Discaspis 这一属名已被Lin K. S. 教授于1988年在记述中国台湾的昆虫时首先使用了。因此,作者建议以新的属名Lopadaspis 代替Discaspis 。Lopad (Gr. ) 义为平盘。在此,对Kammerer 教授的提示和建议表示感谢。
