Zusammenfassung:Idiococcobius Hayat, syn. nov. , is synonymised with Coccobius Ratzeburg, based on morphological and molecular data from a new species of Coccobius from Malaysian Borneo. The new species is sufficiently similar morphologically to the type species of Idiococcobius to place it unambiguously within that genus, but molecular data from the new species, and a reassessment of the morphology of Idiococcobius , indicate synonymy of the two genera. Idiococcobius encarsoides Hayat is therefore transferred to Coccobius ; resulting in the new combination: Coccobius encarsoides (Hayat), comb. nov. Coccobius islandicus Geng & Polaszek, sp. nov , is described from morphology and DNA sequence data.
