Anicetus annulatus Timberlake, 1919 Anicetus eous Trjapitzin, 1965: 901, syn. nov. Material examined. 1 ♀, Oita-City, 13.v.1953, T. Tachikawa lgt. & det.; 1 ♀, Matsuyama, ex Coccus hesperidum, 14.v.1955, T. Tachikawa lgt. & det.; 4 ♀♀ (on slide), Matsuyama, 14.v.1954, ex Pulvinaria aurantii, T.

Holarctic, Neotropical, Oriental (NOYES 2016). Comments. Anicetus eous was described based on a single specimen. Although the senior author visited St. Petersburg in 2003 and examined the type of this species, he did not copy the label details. After checking many samples of A. annulatus from Japan we decided to synonymize A. eous with A. annulatus having no doubts about their conspecificity.
