Y1 ("The genus Puto Signoret includes 57 speices and is known from the Holarctic and Neotropics. In the U.S., 22 species have been described to date, all of which occur in the western states. The "Puto group" is closely related to the pseudococcids, but there has been some disagreement in deciding whether it should be treated taxonomically as a pseudococcid (Williams & de Willink, 1992) or as a separate family (Beardsley, 1969).") p. 32 ("Conclusions: The Puto group could be treated either as a separate family or as part of the Pseudococcidae. Our preference is for the inclusion of this group as part of the mealybugs...")
