The work reported on in the following pages was begun on 
the basis of two small collections of coccids sent for possible 
identification to the Bureau of Entomology by Prof. C. F. Baker 
in 1918. In the following year, I received from Professor Baker 
a compiled list of the known Singapore Coccide, prepared by 
himself and Mr. I. H. Burkill. This list included a number of 
manuscript new species names assigned by Mr. E. E. Green, 
these giving me my first intimation that Mr. Green was actively 
engaged in working on Singapore coccids. Following some cor- 
respondence regarding the best means of avoiding confusion or 
duplication, Mr. Green, with his usual generosity, forwarded to 
me specimens of all of his new nondiaspine species, together with 
certain notes on the same, and gave me the privilege of describ- 
ing these new species and of adding them to the work which had 
been completed on Professor Baker’s specimens. 
_ All of the specimens forwarded for description by Mr. Green, 
and some of those from Professor Baker, were collected by Mr. 
I. H. Burkill, to whom I am thus indirectly much indebted for the 
opportunity to examine some very interesting coccids. 
Some of the species found in this small collection have pre- 
sented serious difficulties with respect to proper generic assign- 
ment and specific differentiation, and certain of these questions 
have been settled tentatively only. 
All information regarding host, locality, and date of collec- 
tion was copied from the notes in the packages containing the 
specimens, and all of the specimens were collected either by Mr. 
Burkill or by Professor Baker. The drawings illustrating the
