2. The Level III groups constitute a greater part of the family. Subdividing them into subtribes is not yet successful especially in the Diaspidini and Lepidosaphidini. There have been proposed many subgroups in the Diaspidini, but in Table 1 are mentioned for the Level III Diaspidini only three subtribes, which appear to represent natural groups so far as their type genera and some other genera apparently related to the type genera are concerned.
